GENERAL SAFETY RULES
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
Workplace
1 ) Keep workplace clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark workplaces 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
1 ) 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.
2 ) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as conduits,
radiators, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
3
) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
4 ) 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.
5 ) 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.
Personal safety
1 ) 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.
2 ) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce person- al injuries.
3 ) Avoid suddenly starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in. When your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
4 ) 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.
5 ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
6 ) 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.
7 ) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
1 ) 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.
2 ) 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.
