General power tool safety
warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Clut-
tered 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.
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 (groun-
ded) 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, radia-
tors, 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 entang-
led cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-
trations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING!
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 loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 whi-
le you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating a power tool
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as a 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 connec-
ting 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 be-
fore 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 bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
