GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
◾
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 adaptor
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 medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
◾
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a 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 energizing 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 dust
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
