PRODUCT SAFETY

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, 
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction 

activities contains chemicals known to the state 
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals 
are:
•   Lead from lead-based paints;
•   Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and 

other masonry products;

•   Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated 

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on 
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your 
exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated 
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as 
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out 
microscopic particles.

WARNING: This product can expose you to 
chemicals including lead and Di(2-ethylhexyl)

phthalate (DEHP) which are known to the State 
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or 
other reproductive harm. For more information go to

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

 

 

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, 
instructions, 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 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 

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. 

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 and clothing away from
