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.
