SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations, and specifications, provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
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 the 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 that may ignite 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 the 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 the 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. The 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.
The 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 a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hats, 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 a power source and/or
battery pack, picking up, or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, 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. The use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h.
Do not let familiarity gained from the
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
