General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARN I N G
Read all safety warn-
ings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
► Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered
or dark areas invile accidents.
► 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 ignile the
dust or fumes.
► Keep children and bystanders a way while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
►
Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
► Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
► Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
► 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 and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
► 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.
► If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
► 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.
► Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
► Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off -position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying
power tools with your fi nger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
► Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore 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.
► Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected sit-
uations.
► 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.
► 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.
► Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
► Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
► 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.
► Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments ,changing
