Safety instructions

General power tool safety
warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in
warnings refers to mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

1 Work area safety

1.1 Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
1.2 Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
1.3 Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause loss of control.

2 Electrical safety

2.1 Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
2.2 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.
2.3 Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
2.4 Do not abuse the cord. Never use cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

2.5 When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces risk of electric
shock.
2.6 If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

3 Personal safety

3.1 Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
3.2 Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protec-
tive equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
3.3 Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion 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.
3.4 Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of power tool may result
in personal injury.
3.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This ena-
bles better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
3.6 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
3.7 If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collec-
tion facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards
