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, 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.

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 explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of ammable 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. Unmodied 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.

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 inuence

of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b. 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.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 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 nger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

d. 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.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f. 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.

g. 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.

4. Power tool use and care

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

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.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
