General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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.

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.

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 dustrelated hazards.

4) 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 repaired 

before use.

 Many accidents are caused by poorly 

maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 

likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. 

in accordance with these instructions, taking into 

account the working conditions and the work to be 

performed.

 Use of the power tool for operations different 

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
