GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!

 Read all safety warnings and 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 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 

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.

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. Carrying power 

tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on 

invites accidents.
