SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in
electric shock, fi re 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 fl ammable 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.
Unmodifi ed 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) If operating a power
tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a
residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of RCD reduces the
risk of electrical 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 infl uence
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 fi nger 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, 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.
