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 battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

Electrical safety

4. 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.

5. Avoid bod y 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD

3

reduces the risk of electric shock.

10. Use of power supply via a RCD with a rated

residual current of 30mA or less is always
recommended.

Personal safety

11.

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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.

16.

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.

17.

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.

Power tool use and care

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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.

22.

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.

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

24. 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.

Service

25. 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.

26. Follow instruction for lubricating and

changing accessories.

27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

GEB017-4

SCREWDRIVER SAFETY
WARNINGS

1.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.

Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.

2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool
in high locations.

3. Hold the tool firmly.

4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece

immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
