GENERAL POWER TOOL 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 (Lithium) power tool.

1) Work area safety
a) K eep the 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. 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 adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 
risk of electric shock.
b) A void body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-tric 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.
f)  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.
h) No permita que la familiaridad adquirida con el uso frecuente de las herramientas le haga
confiarse e ignorar los principios de seguridad de las herramientas. Una acción descuidada
puede causar lesiones graves en una fracción de segundo.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do 
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A 
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as 
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions 
will reduce personal injuries.
