GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
a WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fi re 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.
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
fl ammable 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.
Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
•
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
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 ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI 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 infl uence 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, nonskid 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 power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or energising 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
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
