Read all Instructions Thoroughly

General Safety Rules for all Power Tools

 

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. 

Failure to follow all 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.

Work Area Safety
•  Keep the work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered and 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 the 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 the 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 ground-fault  circuit 

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

 Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
