GENERAL SAFETY RULES           

 WARNING: 

Read all warnings and 

instructions. Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, fire 

and/or serious personal 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 SAFETY

1

)  

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 

and 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.

2. 

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 residual current device 

(RCD). Use of RCD reduces the risk of 

electric shock.

3. 

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye 

protection. Safety equipment such as a 

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, 

or hearing protection used for appropriate 

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3

)  

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch 

is in the off-position before connecting to 

power source and/or battery pack, pick up or 

carrying power tools. With your finger on the 

switch or plugging in power tools that have 

the switch on invites accidents.

4

)  

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 

turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is 

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.

6

)  

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 

or jewellery. Keep your clothing, gloves, and 

hair away from moving parts. Loose clothes, 

jewellery or long hair can be caught in 

moving parts.

7

)  

If devices are provided for the connection 

of dust extraction and collection facilities, 

ensure that these are connected and 

properly used. Use of these devices can 

reduce dust-related hazards.

8)

Use clamps or another practical way to 

support and secure the workpiece to a 

stable platform. Holding the work by hand 

or against your body leaves it unstable and 

may lead to loss of control.

9)

 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. 

Stable footing on a solid surface enables 

better control of the power tool in unexpected 

situations.

10)

Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil 

and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
