General Safety Rules
Work area
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
(The following applies only to tools with a separate battery pack)
2) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger
for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another bat -

Personal Safety
1. 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.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

your finger on the switch invites accidents.

tool in unexpected situations

be used for appropriate conditions.
Power tool use and care
1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

which it is designed.

be repaired.
4. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users

likely to bind and are easier to control.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using .Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
7. Use only accessories that are supplied with your model. Other accessories that may not be suitable for this tool and may
create a risk of injury when used.

.Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
