GENERAL POWER AUGER SAFETY WARNINGS

W A R N I N G
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS, ILLUSTRATIONS, AND SPECIFICATIONS PROVIDED BY THIS POWER TOOL.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep 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. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.

•  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
  ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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 expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
  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. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
