SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specifications provided 

with this power tool.

 Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or 

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions 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

1. 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents.

2. 

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.

3. 

Keep children and bystanders away while 

operating a power tool.

 Distractions can cause 

you to lose control.

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 elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions.

 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 a ground fault circuit inter-

rupter (GFCI) protected supply.

 Use of a GFCI 

reduces the risk of electric shock.

7. 

Power tools can produce electromagnetic fields 

(EMF) that are not harmful to the user.

 However, 

users of pacemakers and other similar medical 

devices should contact the maker of their device and/

or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.

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 med

-

ication.

 A moment of inattention while operating 

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. 

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.

3. 

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.

4. 

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 

turning the power tool on.

 A wrench or a key 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 hair, clothing and gloves 

away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewel

-

lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. 

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.

8. 

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 

of tools allow you to become complacent and 

ignore tool safety principles.

 A careless action 

can cause severe injury within a fraction of a 

second.

9. 

Always wear protective goggles to protect 

your eyes from injury when using power tools. 

The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in 

the USA.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the 

use of appropriate safety protective equipment 

by the tool operators and by other persons in 

the immediate working area.

Power tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

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.
