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,
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.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl
ammable 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.
Unmodi
fi
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.
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 in
fl
uence 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
fi
nger 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.
