GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

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 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 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 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 influence 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 finger 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.

Symbols

WARNING

The following show symbols used for the machine. Be sure that you understand their meaning before use.

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

Only for EU countries

Do not dispose of electric tools together with

household waste material!

In observance of European Directive 2002/96/

EC on waste electrical and electronic

equipment and its implementation in

accordance with national law, electric tools

that have reached the end of their life must

be collected separately and returned to an

environmentally compatible recycling facility.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
