Safety instructions

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, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-

ence.

 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.

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.

f.  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.

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. 

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.
