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 and 

• 

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 chemicals: 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, phthalate or bisphenol 

A which are known to the State of California to cause 

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

Wash your hands after use.

GENERAL POWER TOOL 

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and 

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 

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 grounded 

power tools.

 Unmodified plugs and matching 

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b)  Avoid body contact with grounded 

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges 

and refrigerators.

 There is an increased risk 

of electric shock if your body is 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 marked “W-A” or “W”. 

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 Ground 

Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected 

supply. 

Use of a GFCI 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 energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving 

parts. 

Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dust-related hazards.

4.  POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 

a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the
