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 batteryoperated (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 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 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.

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.

f)If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b)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.

c)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 energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dustrelated 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.

b)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.

c)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.

d)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.

e)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.

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

g)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.

5)SERVICE

a)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.

Additional Safety Instructions for Pavement Breakers

Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

1

Be certain that the material being worked does not conceal electric or gas service and that their locations have been verified with the utility companies.

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle securely before use.

Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most applications.

Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.

Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could cause injury.

Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage bare hands.

Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop. Moving bits could cause injury.

Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and cause injury.

Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.

Keep the power cord away from the bit. Do not wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord wrapped around a bit may cause electric shock.

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils électriques

AVERTISSEMENT ! Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes les directives.

Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES

DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

1)SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a)Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices aux accidents.

b)Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

c)Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.

2)SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ

a)Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise.

b)Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.

c)Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

d)Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

e)Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge convenant à cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduira les risques de choc électrique.

f)S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit humide, brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur réduit les risques de choc électrique.

3)SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

a)Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles graves.

b)Utiliser des équipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une protection oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert réduira les risques de blessures corporelles.

c)Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil électrique alors que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d)Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures corporelles.

e)Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situations imprévues.

f)S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les pièces mobiles.

g)Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par les poussières.

4)UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D’UN OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE

a)Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique approprié à l’application.

L’outil électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.

b)Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé.

c)Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil électrique avant de faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire ou avant de ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’outil électrique.

d)Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

e)Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou coincées, si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute autre condition susceptible
