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.
WARNING:
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following, to reduce
the risk of re, electrical shock, or injury.
Work area:
•Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust and fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
•Not to be used as a toy. Not to be used
near children. Never allow children to use the power tool. When not in use store the power tool out of the reach of children.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
operating the power tool, distractions can cause you to lose control.
•Always be sure of your footing on ladders
or slopes, do not over-reach or use on
excessively steep slopes.
Electrical safety:
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
•Do not use any adaptor plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the 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 electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•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.
•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.
•If the cord becomes damaged during use
disconnect the cord from the power supply immediately- DO NOT touch the cable before disconnecting.
•Before use check the power supply and
charger cables for signs of damage or ageing.
•When charging or operating the power
tool it is recommended that the appliance should be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.
•Do not handle the charger or the power
tool with wet hands.
