3. Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

General Safety Rules:

• Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Electrical Safety: Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators). Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• Personal Safety: Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Battery Tool Use and Care: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
