Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust
or fumes.
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 any way. Do not use any adapt-
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
