General power tool safety
warnings
warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
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
a) keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) 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.
c) keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
electRical Safety
a) 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) if operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RcD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PeRSoNal Safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) 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. 1
