General safety rules
WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety precautions
should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. Also, please read and heed the
advice given in the additional important safety instructions.
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas
and benches invite accidents and injury.
2. Consider the environment in which you are working. Do
not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the
work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do
not use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors and
onlookers, especially children, should be kept well away
from where you are working. Do not let others in the
vicinity make contact with the tool or extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be locked
up out of the reach of children.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and
safer working at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools
or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier
duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. If you
have long hair, wear a protective hair covering.
