SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to fol-
low 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 refers to
your mains-operated (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 earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec-
tric 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 and 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 loca-
tion 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
medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b)
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.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery 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 better
control of the power tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
f )
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h)
Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety princi-
ples.
A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application.
