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.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. 

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. 

Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
