General power tool safety warnings
@Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below 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.
bDo 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.
cKeep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2 Electrical safety
aPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodifi ed 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.
cDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
dDo 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.
eWhen 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.
3 Personal safety
aStay 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.
bUse safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
cAvoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or plugging in 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.
eDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
fDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
gIf 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
4 Power tool use and care
aDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
