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 mains­operated (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 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 residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD

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
energising 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.

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) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other

metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.

6) Service
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.

Drill Safety Warnings

1. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise

can cause hearing loss.

2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety Warnings For Battery Pack

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery

packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may
short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in

direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to

come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of
water and seek medical advice.

f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack

has been swallowed.

g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if

they become dirty.

i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always refer

to this instruction and use the correct charging procedure.

j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to

charge and discharge the battery pack several times to
