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 electricshock.
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 electricshock.
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 electricshock.
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 personalinjury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personalinjuries.
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 invitesaccidents.
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 personalinjury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpectedsituations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in movingparts.
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-relatedhazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from 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 asecond.
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 wasdesigned.
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 berepaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 toolaccidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

FOR FUTUREREFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
inviteaccidents.
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 orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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 electricshock.
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 orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.
