General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
English
Read all safety warn-
WARNING
ings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
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.
u
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explos-
u
ive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away
u
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
English
Power tool plugs must match the out-
u
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
u
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radi-
ators, 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
u
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
u
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.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
u
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock..
18 | English
If operating a power tool in a damp
u
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
English
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
u
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal in-
jury.
Use personal protective equipment. Al-
u
ways 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 injur-
ies.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
u
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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
u
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
u
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
u
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.
If devices are provided for the connec-
u
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure 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
u
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
u
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
u
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
