General power tool safety instructions.
Warning! Read all safety warn-
ings and all instructions. Fail-
ure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious 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
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and poorly lit areas can result in
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in the pres-
ence 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 out-
let. 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 elec-
tric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors 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 re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f) If it is not possible to avoid the use of the
power tool in humid or wet areas, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
g) Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, becouse the belt may contact its own
cord. Contact a "live" wire make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give op-
erator an electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a pow-
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective equip-
ment 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 con-
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing 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 be-
fore switching on the power tool. 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 bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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 ex-traction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
