GENERAL
POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
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
electric (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
grounded
power
tools.
Unmodified
plugs
and
matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body
contact
with
grounded surfaces,
such
as
pipes, radiators,
ranges
and
refrigerators. There
is
an
increased risk of
electric shock
if your body is
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.
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
and/or battery
pack, picking
up or
carrying
thetool.
Carrying
power
tools with
your
finger
on
the
switch
or energising
power tools
that
have the
switch
on
invites accidents.
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.
