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.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

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

15. 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.

16. 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.

Power tool use and care

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the

4 power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

23. 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.

Battery tool use and care

24. 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.

25. Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

26. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one

terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

28. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

29. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.

30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
