warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warningsand instructions for future reference.
The term “power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. C/uttered 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 apower 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. Donot 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 isan increased risk
of electric shock if your bodyis earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
apower tool will increase therisk 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 therisk
of electric shock.
e) When operating apower tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use ofa cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating apower tool in adamp location is unavoidable, use
aresidual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
