ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING! 

Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in 

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed  below 

refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.

1) 

Work area

a) 

Keep work area clean and well lit

Cluttered and 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. 

Distractions can cause  you 

to lose control.

2) 

Electrical safety

a)  

Power  ool  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.

c)  

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will increase 

the risk of electric shock.

d)  

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.

e)  

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.

3) 

Personal safety

a)
