General safety rules

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 adapter 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 of 

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.

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.

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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times.

 This enables better control of the power tool 

in unexpected situations.

f ) Dress 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.

g) 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.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do 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.
