General Power Tool Safety Warnings

W 750
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
3
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
V 230
min -1 2830
m/min 380
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
m/min 880
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
mm 200
1) Work area safety
mm 305
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
mm 500 x 500
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
right 0–45°
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
mm 1050 x 700 x 500
or fumes.
mm 1600 x 700 x 500
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
mm 100
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
mm 2215
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
mm 3–16 not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
mm 0.06
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
kg 54
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
dB(A) 82
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
dB(A) 95
will increase the risk of electric shock.
dB(A) 3
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. 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 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 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.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 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 frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. 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 correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
