GENERAL POWER TOOLS SAFETY WARNING
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
- Keep the working area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
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
Electric 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 or
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 the power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use 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 an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock
Personal safety
- Stay alert, Watch you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
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 the 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
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
Power tool use and care
-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
-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
-Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
battery pack 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.
