GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
designated by the symbol and all instructions. 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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.
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - PERSONAL SAFETY
1) 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.
2) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non­skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7) 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - POWER TOOL USE
AND CARE
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7) 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.
8) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - BATTERY TOOL USE
AND CARE
1) 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.
2) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3) 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.
4) 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - SERVICE
1) 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.
