GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 adapter plugs with 

earthed (grounded) 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 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 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 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 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 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 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) Battery tool use and care

a)  Recharge only with the charger specified by the 

manufacturer. 

A charger that is suitable for one type of 

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another 

battery pack.

b)  Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs. 

Use of any other battery packs may create a 

risk of injury and f

ire.

c)  When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other 

metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws 

or other small metal objects, that can make a connection 

from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery 

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d)  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally 

occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, 

additionally seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6)  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.

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.
