Work area safety

•

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents�

•

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-

uids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes�

•

Keep children and bystanders away while oper-

ating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control�

Electrical safety

•

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.

Un-

modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock�

•

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�

•

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk

of electric shock�

•

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock�

•

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock�

•

If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk

of electric shock� NOTE! The term "residual current
device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)"�

•

Warning!

Never touch the exposed metal surfaces

on gearbox, shield, and so on because touching metal
surfaces will be interfered with the electromagnetic
wave, thus causing potential injury or accidents�

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore

tool safety principles

� A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second�

netic field during operation. This field may under some

circumstances interfere with active or passive medical
