Warning
Observe all the safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and technical data provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow the instructions below may result in
electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term
power tool
used in the safety warnings refers to both
mains-operated and battery-powered electric tools (with/
without power cable).
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 the 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 location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety
•
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.
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.
•
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.
•
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 situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
The use of a dust
extraction system may reduce dust-related hazards.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
