GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1
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 flammable
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.
2.2
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
2.3
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
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A lapse of
attention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protection. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective products such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used appropriately will reduce personal
injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack and when picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
2.4
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
