Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings.
Warning! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings
listed below 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 and 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.
(Original instructions)
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 electric shock.
b. 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.
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 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.
Note: The term "Residual Curent Device
(RCD)" can be replaced by "Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)" or by "Earth
Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)".
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.
