GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodied
plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool 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
1. 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.
2. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. 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
tool. Carrying power tools with your nger
on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
