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.
