GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
