ded) machines or battery-operated
(cordless) machines.
Work area safety
u Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
u Do not operate the machine in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Machines create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
u Keep children and bystanders
away while operating the machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control over the machine. Never op-
erate the machine while people, es-
pecially children or pets, are nearby.
Electrical safety
u The plug of the machine must
match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
u Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refri-
gerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
u Do not expose the machine to rain
or wet conditions. Penetration of
water in the machine increases the
risk of an electric shock.
u Never use the cord for carrying,
hanging up or unplugging the ma-
chine. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
u When operating a machine out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
u When operating the machine in
damp environments is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device
(RCD). The use of a residual current
device (RCD) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
u Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating the machine. Do not use
a machine while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of in-
attention while operating the ma-
chine may result in serious personal
injury.
u Wear safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Wearing
safety equipment such as dusk
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
