General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all
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
aa Keep work area clean and well lit.
or dark areas invite accidents.
ba 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.
ca Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
aa Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(groundeda power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
ba 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.
ca Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
da 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.
ea 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.
fa If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCDa protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
aa 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 ofinattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
ba 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.
ca 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.
da Remove any adjusting key or wrenchbefore
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.

balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
fa 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.
ga 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.
