General safety rules

Warning!

 Read all instructions. Failure to follow all 

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 

and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the 

warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) 

power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

Save these instructions.

1.  Work area

a.  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark 

areas invite accidents.

b.  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.

c.  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a 

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.  Electrical safety

a.  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 electric shock.

b.  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.

c.  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 

electric shock.

d.  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.

e.  When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension 

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for 

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.  Personal safety

a.  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.

b.  Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety 

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c.  Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off 

position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with 

your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that 

have the switch on invites accidents.

d.  Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 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.

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

times. This enables better control of the power tool in 

unexpected situations.

f.  Dress properly. 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.

g.  If devices are provided for the connection of dust 

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are 

connected and properly used. Use of these devices can 

reduce dust related hazards.

4.  Power tool use and care

a.  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool 

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job 

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b.  Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on 

and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the 

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
