5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all 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.

5.1

Work area

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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 which may ignite the dust or
fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

5.2

Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
