General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and
WARNING
all instructions. Failure to fol-
low the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
English
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
u
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
u
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while op-
u
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
English
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
u
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 grounded
u
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or groun-
ded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
u
ditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
u
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or en-
tangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
u
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock..
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
u
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD re-
duces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
u
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 med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal
English
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
u
English
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.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
u
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing 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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
u
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
u
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
u
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
u
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
u
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
u
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
u
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
u
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
