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.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

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.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL 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 and 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 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.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the

risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

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.

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 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.

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.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long

hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn

into air vents.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

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

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.

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.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

How many millimeter does the saw need to protrude under the material I'm sawing? Verified

It's best to keep this at 3mm or more. When it is less, there is a chance the material will crumble or lead to an ugly result.

Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a circular saw? Verified

Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a circular saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

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.
