General power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below 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
fl ammable 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.
Unmodifi ed 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.
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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or plugging in 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.
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.
