General safety rules

Read and understand all instruc- tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed be- low may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri- ous personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1)Work area safety

a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut- tered and dark areas invite accidents.

b)Do not operate power tools in explo- sive 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 in- crease the risk of electric shock.

d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the pow- er tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e)When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re- duces the risk of electric shock.

f)Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur- faces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a „live“ wire will make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and shock the operator.

3)Personal safety

a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pow- er tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, al- cohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b)Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro- tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c)Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench be- fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g)If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facili- ties, ensure these are connected and prop-
