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 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 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 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 dust-related 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 per-
formed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. 

A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live"

wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eye glasses are NOT safety

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTI-
FIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• 

ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)

• 

ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection

• 

NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection 

Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended.

See 

Sanding Lead Based Paint

for

additional information before sanding paint.

• Clean your tool out periodically.

Extension Cords

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.

The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

V ..........................volts

A..........................amperes

Hz ........................hertz

W ........................watts

min ........................minutes

......................alternating current

......................direct current

no ........................no load speed

..........................Class II Construction

........................

earthing terminal

........................safety alert symbol

.../min ..................revolutions or 

reciprocations per minute

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.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. 

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause 

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved 

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and 
body.
