GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instruc -
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref -
erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
f
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
f
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo -
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
f
Keep children and bystanders away while oper -
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
f
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt -
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
f
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.
f
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi -
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
f
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 and
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
f
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
f
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.
f
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear -
ing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
f
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source, 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.
f
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.
f
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal -
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
f
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en -
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
f
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 sec-
ond.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
f
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct pow-
er tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
f
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
f
Disconnect the plug from the power source from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
f
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil -
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
f
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak -
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
f
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
