General power tool safety warnings

@

Warning! Read all safety warnings and 
all instructions.

 Failure to follow the 

warnings and instructions listed below 
may result in electric shock, fire and/or 
serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future 
reference.

 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.

1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered 

or 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.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location 

is unavoidable, use a residual current device 
(RCD) protected supply.

 Use of an RCD 

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 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.

c. 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 tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the 
switch or energising 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
