General power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all 
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings 
and instructions listed below may result in 
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers 
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated 
(cordless) power tool.
1.Workareasafety
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.Electricalsafety
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 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 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. 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. Use 
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3.Personalsafety
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 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 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.
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 jewellery. 
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving 
parts.  Loose  clothes,  jewellery  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. Use of dust collection can 
reduce dust-related hazards.
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 was designed.
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 be repaired.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding 
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition 
that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have 
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are 
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained 
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and 
are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in 
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the 
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
