PRODUCT SAFETY

WARNING: Some dust created by 

power sanding, sawing, grinding, 

drilling and other construction activities 

contains chemicals known to the state 

of California to cause cancer, birth 

defects or other reproductive harm. 

Some examples of these chemicals are:

•   Lead from lead-based paints;

•   Crystalline silica from bricks and 

cement and other masonry products 

and 

•   Arsenic and chromium from 

chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, 

depending on how often you do this 

type of work. To reduce your exposure 

to these chemical: 

Work in a well ventilated area, and 

Work with approved safety equipment, 

such as those dust masks that 

are specially designed to filter out 

microscopic particles.

WARNING: This product can 

expose you to chemicals including 

lead, phthalate or bisphenol A which 

are known to the State of California to 

cause cancer, birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Wash your hands 

after use. For more information go to

GENERAL POWER TOOL 

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings 

and 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 refer to 
your electric (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.

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 grounded power tools.

 

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets 
will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with grounded 

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, 

ranges and refrigerators. 

There is an 

increased risk of electric shock if your body 
is 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.
