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.
1) Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
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 earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and 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 extension cord suit-
able 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 re-
duces 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-posi-
tion before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing 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.
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 jewellery. 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 extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected 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 ap-
plication.
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 ac-
cessories, 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 al-
low 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 binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect 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 account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a)
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
b)
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c)
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal ob-
jects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) 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.
Special safety instructions for impact
wrench
–
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
