General Safety Warnings for Electronic
Devices
WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and information for
future reference! The term "electrical device" in
the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) electrical device or battery-operated
(cordless) electrical device.
3.1 Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate the electrical device in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Electronic devices create sparks which might ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
3.2

Electrical safety

a) Do not expose electrical devices to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering an electrical
device will increase the risk of electric shock.
3.3 Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating an electrical
device. Do not use an electrical device while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating electrical
devices may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection, depending on the type and
application of the electrical device, 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 electrical device. Carrying
electrical devices with your finger on the switch or
energising devices that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting devices or wrenches
before turning on the electrical device. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
device may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the electrical device in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. 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.
3.4 Electrical device use and care
a) Never use electrical devices with a defective
switch. Electrical devices that can no longer be
switched on or off are dangerous and must be
repaired immediately.
b) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the electrical
device before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing devices.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the electrical device accidentally.
