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.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings – Work Area Safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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 liquids,
fumes or dust.
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings – Electrical Safety
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) chargers.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools, chargers
or Power Cells to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the tool,
chargers or Power Cells will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
power cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the charger. Keep the
power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a charger outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
If operating a charger in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. An RCD is also
known as a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB). Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings – Personal Safety
Stay alert, be aware of your
surroundings, 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 a power tool
may result in serious personal injury.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings –
Personal Safety – cont’d
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes or boots,
sturdy gloves, durable long pants and
durable long sleeve shirt, [and hard hat,
or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions] will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the trigger switches are in
the off-position before connecting
the Power Cell to the power tool, and
never pick up or carry the tool by the
trigger switches. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjustment 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings – Power tool use and
care
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and
safer when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not use a power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled using the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Remove the Power Cell before
making any adjustments, replacing
or repairing parts, cleaning the tool,
leaving the tool idle or unattended,
transporting or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
