General safety warnings

WARNING. Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
This unit may not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities, with a lack of experience and without the appropriate
knowledge, unless they are supervised by someone who is responsible for their
safety or have been instructed by such a person with regard to how the unit is to
be operated.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
1. Work area safety
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 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
