General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
directions and instruc-
tions.
Omissions in the
compliance with safety di-
rections and instructions can
cause electrical shock, fire
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and
instructions for future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the
safety instructions refers to mains-
operated power tools (with power
cord) and to battery-operated pow-
er tools (without power cord).
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flam
-
mable Iiquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool
. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) 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.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, rang-
es 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 conditions.
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 in-
crease 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 electric
shock.
