General power tool safety warnings

WARning:
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
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 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.
h) hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the fastener may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
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 performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care (for battery tools only)
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.
