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

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.

eLeCtriCAL sAFetY

 

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.

 

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.

 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-

tric shock.

 

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.

 

when operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord suitable for outdoor use. 

Use of a cord suit-

able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

 

if operating a power tool in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCi) 

protected supply. 

Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of 

electric shock.

 

use battery only with charger listed.

PersoNAL sAFetY

 

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 inatten-

tion while operating power tools may result in serious 

personal injury.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Do not overreach. 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 jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from 

moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can 

be caught in moving parts.

 

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.

 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long 

hair. 

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn 

into air vents.

 

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. 

Stable 

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the 

power tool in unexpected situations.

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.

 

maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other 

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.

if damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power 
tools.
