GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and
instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your
mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.
4.1 Working area
▪
Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
▪
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the
presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
▪
Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.
4.2 Electrical safety
▪
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
▪
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
▪
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is
earthed.
▪
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool,
it will increase the risk of an electric shock.
▪
Do not damage 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 an electric shock.
▪
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
▪
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply
protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
4.3 Personal safety
▪
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool
may result in serious personal injury.
▪
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is
needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
