General Safety Rules

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 or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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
perfumes.

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.

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.

entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

d) 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) 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 safety equipment.
Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to

a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
