General 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 or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area:
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, ga
ses 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 los
e control.
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 the risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, ra diators,
ranges 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 increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Replacement of the supply cord.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by an electrician or a power tool repairer.
•
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.
•
I
f 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.
•
Have your tool repaired by an authorised service dealer.
This power tool complies
with relevant safety requirements. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be
repaired by qualified personnel using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in
considerable damage to the user.
