General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and allinstructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or seriousinjury.
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) powertool.
1) Work area safety
a ) Keep work area clean and welllit. Cluttered or dark areas
inviteaccidents.
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases ordust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
powertool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
2) Electrical safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match theoutlet. Never modify the
plug in anyway. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) powertools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges andrefrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wetconditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.
d ) Do not abuse thecord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the powertool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or movingparts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electricshock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdooruse. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protectedsupply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electricshock.
3) Personal safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a powertool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
ormedication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personalinjury.
b ) Use personal protectiveequipment. Always wear
eyeprotection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personalinjuries.
c ) Prevent unintentionalstarting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying thetool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invitesaccidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
toolon. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personalinjury.
e ) Do notoverreach. Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations.
f ) Dressproperly. Do not wear loose clothing orjewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from movingparts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in movingparts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properlyused. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
relatedhazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a ) Do not force the powertool. Use the correct power tool for
yourapplication. The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
andoff. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must berepaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing powertools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power toolaccidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the powertool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrainedusers.
e ) Maintain powertools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’soperation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired beforeuse. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained powertools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp andclean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
tocontrol.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bitsetc., in accordance
with these instructions taking into account the working
conditions and the work to beperformed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardoussituation.
