B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MEANING OF SYMBOLS
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.
1) 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.
2) Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor 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
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.
3) 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.
