WARNINGS

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.

WARNINGS

 - 

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 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 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.

6)  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.

NoTe: 

 The term “residual current device 

(RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground 
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth 
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

WARNINGS

 - 

PeRSoNAl SAfeTy

1)  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. 

2)  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.

3) 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.

4)  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.

5)  Do not overreach. keep proper 

footing and balance at all times.

 This 

enables better control of the power tool in 
unexpected situations.
