areas inviteaccidents.
◾ Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres , such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, petrol or dust. Power tools create
sparkswhichmay ignitethedustorfumes.
◾ Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◾ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in anyway. Do not use any adaptor
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reducerisk

◾ 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.
