2.0 Safety Warnings
2.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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
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 atmosphe
res, 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 car
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and mo-
ving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex
tension cord suitable for outdoor use.
The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and usecom-
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-slip
safety shoes and hearing protection used for appro-.
priate 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.
