Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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 mainsoperated
(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
adapter 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 and 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 pow -
er tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattenti
-
on while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protecti
-
on used for appropriate conditions will reduce perso -
nal injuries.
▶ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power sour -
ce and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on in
-
vites 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 per -
sonal 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 jewel -
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mo -
ving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex -
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
▶ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
▶ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be control -
led with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack 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.
▶ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
