GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated
(cordless) machine.
Work area safety
◾ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
◾ Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
◾ Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
◾ Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
◾ 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.
◾ Do not operate the machine in rain or wet
conditions.Water entering the machine may increase
the risk of electric shock or malfunction that could
result in personal injury.
◾ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
◾ When operating a machine outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
◾ If operating a machine in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
◾ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a machine. Do
not use a machine while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating machines may
result in serious personal injury.
◾ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
◾ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on
the switch or energizing machines that have the switch
on invites accidents.
