PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING: Some dust created by 
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling 
and other construction activities contains 
chemicals known to the State of California 
to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. Some examples of these 
chemicals are:
•  Lead from lead-based paints;
•  Crystalline silica from bricks and cement 
and other masonry products;
•  Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, 
depending on how often you do this type 
of work. To reduce your exposure to these 
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and 
work with approved safety equipment, such as 
those dust masks that are specially designed 
to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product can expose you 
to chemicals including lead and Di(2-
ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) which are known 
to the State of California to cause cancer and 
birth defects or other reproductive harm. For

GENERAL POWER TOOL 
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and 
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 your 
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 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)  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 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-
