General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specifica-

tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-

structions listed below 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 (cord-

less) power tool.

Work area safety

u Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

u 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.

u Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

u 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.

u Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-

ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded.

u Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-

tric shock.

u Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-

ing, 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.

u When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-

able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

u If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-

ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety

u 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 inatten-

tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

u 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 personal in-

juries.

u 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 en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

u 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 in-

jury.

u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

u Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

u If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

u 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 in-

jury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

u 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 de-

signed.

u 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.

u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-

move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

u 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.

u Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.
