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 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool. 

Work area safety 

1. 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents. 

2. 

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. 

3. 

Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.

 Distractions can cause

you to lose control. 

Electrical Safety 

4. 

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. 

5. 

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. 

6. 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.

 Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock. 

7. 

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. 

8. 

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. 

9. 

If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

 Use of an

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. 

Personal Safety 

10. 

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. 

11.

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. 

12. 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source 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 invites accidents. 

13. 

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. 

14. 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.

 This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations. 

15. 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
