General Power Tool Safety 
Warnings   

   

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your 

battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 

Work Area Safety 

1. 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 

Cluttered or dark 

areas invite accidents.

 

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.

 

3. 

Keep children and bystanders away while 

operating a power tool.

 

Distractions can cause you to 

lose control. 

 

Electrical Safety 

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 the 

risk of electric shock.

 

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.   

3

. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 

conditions.

 Water entering a power tool will increase the 

risk of electric shock. 

4. 

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for 

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

 Keep 

the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving 

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of 

electric shock

5. 

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.
