General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in­
structions, illustrations and specifica­
tions 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. Clut­
tered 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.
Keep children and bystanders away while
c.
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
a.
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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
b.
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia­
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
c.
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
8
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
d.
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 elec­
tric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
e.
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 loca­
tion 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 pow­
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inat­
tention while operating power tools may re­
sult in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Al­
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a 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 con­
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car­
rying 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 be­
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal in­
jury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected sit­
uations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth­
f.
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth­
ing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
g.
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
