GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to
heed warnings and follow instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety
warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
Working area
Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy
and dark areas can lead to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially
explosive surroundings, for example, in the
presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders at a distance
when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of it.
Electrical safety
Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of an electric shock if
your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of an electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a
residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention when operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk
of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on
position makes accidents more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before
turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly
on the ground at all times. This will enable you
retain control over the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
If there are devices for connecting dust
extraction and collection facilities, please ensure
that they are attached and used correctly. Using
such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it
can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to
do. A power tool will achieve better results and be
safer if used in the context for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot
turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
