General Power Tool Safety Warnings
English
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, in-
structions, 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 bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
English
u
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
u
Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
u
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
English
u
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun-
ded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
u
Avoid body contact with earthed or groun-
ded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
u
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
u
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.
u
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.
u
If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
English
u
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, alco-
hol or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
u
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 appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
u
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con-
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Car-
rying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
u
Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore 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.
u
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
u
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
u
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.
u
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore tool safety principles.
A
careless action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
English
u
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
u
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.
u
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detach-
able, 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.
