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 (ground-
ed) 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 enter-
ing 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 re-
duces 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 medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection.
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 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
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 danger-
ous 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 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
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 account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
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.
Special Safety Instructions
Collective Safety Warnings for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a)
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush
and cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to
follow all the instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
b) This power tool is not suitable for polishing work. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the acces-
sory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe opera-
tion.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running
faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be
within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized ac-
cessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f)
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other
accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Acces-
sories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hard-ware
of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessories such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back-
ing pads for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brushes for loose
or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspect-
ing and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-
ers away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the ap-
plication, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
a workshop apron capable of stop-ping small abrasive or work-
piece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping fly-
ing debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtering particles generated by your operation. Pro-
longed exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective equip-
ment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose con-
trol of the power tool, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
