General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all 

instructions.

 Failure to follow the warnings and 

instructions listed below may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below 

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 

atmospheres, 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 

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.

e.  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.

f.  If operating a power tool in a damp location is 

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) 

protected supply.

 Use of an RCD reduces the risk of 

electric shock. Note: The term “Residual Curent Device 

(RCD)” can be replaced by “Ground Fault Circuit 

Interrupter (GFCI)” or by “Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker 

(ELCB)”.

3.  Personal safety
a.  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 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 protection 

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 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.

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 

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away 

from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair 

can be caught in moving parts.
