SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The term power tool in the warnings refers to your electric (corded) power tool or 

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY
1.  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2.  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.

3.  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 

     Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.  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.

2.  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.

3.  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power 

     tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4.  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.

5.  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.

6.  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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

     WARNING:

 Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow 

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

PERSONAL SAFETY
1.  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.

2.  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. 

3.  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. 

4.  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. 

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

     better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
