2.1.0 WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to loose control.
2.2.0 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators or refridgerators.
There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture.
Risk of electric shock increases, if the water enters into power tool.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Do not carry or pull the power tool, or pull the plug
by pulling the cord.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use proper extension of cord for
outdoors.
Suitable cord for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
6. If the use of a power tool in a damp location is necessary, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected power source.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
