Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
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.
Electrical Safety
•
••
•
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.
Personal Safety
•
••
•
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.
•
••
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
••
•
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.
•
••
•
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.
•
••
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
••
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
••
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
