General power tool safety instructions
WARNING Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and
technical details supplied with this power tool.
Failure to follow the safety
notices and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or severe
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated
power tools (corded) and battery-powered power tools (cordless).
Work area safety
a)
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool.
If you are distracted, you could lose control of the power tool.
Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
