General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Note:
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool.
Work area safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate machine in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
•
Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
•
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.

Safety
•
Do not operate the machine in rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the machine may increase the risk
of electric shock or malfunction that could result in
personal injury.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
•
When operating a machine outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
•
If operating a machine in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a machine. Do not
use a machine while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating machines may result in
serious personal injury.
•
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.
•
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 machine. Carrying machines with your finger
on the switch or energising machines that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the machine may result in personal
injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
•
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.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
machines allow you to become complacent and
ignore machine safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
