Safety instructions

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 injur .

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 oper-

ated (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 charger. 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.
