GENERAL POwER TOOL SAFETY wARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
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 grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with 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 Interupter (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 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

32

that may affect the power tools 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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
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.

SAFETY wARNINGS FOR ScREwDRIvERS AND
IMPAcT wRENchES

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may

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

into the tool holder.
When changing the tool
insert, it can be thrown
out toward the front.
