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 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.
