General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future use.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your main-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, 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. Unmodified 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 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 protected supply. Use of a ground fault
circuit protector 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 in attention 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 injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in off-position before connecting to power source, picking up, or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Removing any adjustment wrench or key before turning the power tool on. A wrench or 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, 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.
