General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warn-
ings and all instructions. Failure to fol-
low 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 mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive 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. 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 refri-
gerators. 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 out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able 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) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. 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.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure 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 energising
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
