General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Note:
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.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety
