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, fi re and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (cord-
ed) power tool or battery-operated (cord-less)
power tool.
Work area safety
► Keep work area clean and well-lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite 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 ignite the dust
or fumes.
►
Keep children and bystanders away
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.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec-
tric shock.
►
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an
increased 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 or 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 pow-
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
►
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
in- juries.
►
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery 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.
►
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.
►
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
►
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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 con-
nection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust related hazards.
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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
►
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool.
