General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in elec-
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term
″power
tool″
in the warnings refers to your mains-operat-
ed (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered or dark ar-
eas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
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.
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 exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, 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 com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites ac-
cidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4)
Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
