1. Safety Notes. General Power Tool
Safety Warnings.
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.
1.1. Work area safety
1.1.1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
1.1.2. 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.
1.1.3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
1.2. Electrical safety.
1.2.1. 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.
1.2.2. 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.
1.2.3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
1.2.4. 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 and moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
1.2.5. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use a residual current device (RCD)
with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
1.2.6. 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.
1.3. Personal safety.
1.3.1. 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.
1.3.2. 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.
1.3.3. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source, 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.
1.3.4. 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.
1.3.5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
1.3.6. 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.
1.3.7. 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.
1.4. Power tool use and care.
1.4.1. 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.
1.4.2. 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.
1.4.3. 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.
