GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. 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-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
h
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
h
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away
h
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the out-
h
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
h
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
h
wet conditions. Water entering a pow-
er tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
h
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
h
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
h
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
h
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
h
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
h
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 energizing pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
h
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
h
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
h
clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connec-
h
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
