1.5.2 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
These warnings are required by EN 60745.
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 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 the earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b.) Aoid 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 tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will inrease 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 suitbable 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 unavaoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) proteted supply. 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)”.
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, alchohol 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 adn/ 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 key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
