SAFETY

IMPORTANT • READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

a

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all 

instructions. 

Failure to follow the warnings and 

instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or 
serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future 

reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or dark 

areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

 Power tools create sparks 

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating 

a power tool.

 Distractions can cause you to lose 

control.

Electrical safety
• 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. 

Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk 
of electric shock.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 
electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is 

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter 

(GFCI) protected supply. 

Use of a GFCI reduces the 

risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
• 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 

infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 

A moment 

of inattention while operating power tools may result in 
serious personal injury.

• 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
