Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
The term "power tool'' in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
The term ''residual current device (RCD)''
may be replaced by the term ''ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)'' or ''earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB)''.
A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
