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 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 accidents.

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 
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power 
tools.

 Unmodifi ed 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 suitable for outdoor use.

 Use of 

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of 
electric shock.

f. 

If operating power tools 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 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-position before connecting 
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.

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 can not 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 
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 allow 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 tools 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.
