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 refe-

rence.

The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) 

power tool.

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 atmo-

spheres, 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 opera-

ting a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose 

control.

2) Electrical safety

a) 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditi-

ons. 

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 

electric shock.

Personal safety

a) 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon 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 protec-

tion 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.

d) 

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-

ing the power tool on. 

A wrench or a key left attached 

to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal 

injury.

e) 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool 

in unexpected situations.

f) 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from 

moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can 

be caught in moving parts.

g) 

If devices are provided for the connection of dust 

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are 

connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection 

can reduce dust-related hazards.

3) Power tool use and care

a) 

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.

b) 

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.

c) 

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.

d) 

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.

e) 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and 

any other condition that may affect the power 

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
