GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and

all instructions.

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 bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.

3.1

Work area safety

■

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Clut-

tered and dark areas invite accidents.

■

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.

■

Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.

Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

3.2

Electrical safety

■

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 elec-
tric shock.

■

Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors, 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 wet
conditions.

Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

■

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, 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.

■

When operating a power tool outdoors,
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 tools in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an

RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.3

Personal safety

■

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

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

■

Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection.

Protective equip-

ment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce person-
al injuries.

■

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con-
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Car-

rying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

■

Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on.

A wrench or

a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.

■

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
