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 electric (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 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 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.

BS305/BS340 02
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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. 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.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
6. 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 or fire.

BS305/BS340 03
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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 object
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) User abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious
amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from
the batter may cause irritation or burns.
7 Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
a) Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metals can be harmful to one’s health and
cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
8 Additional Safety Warning for Band
Saws
a) Never stand on the power tool. Serious
injuries can occur when the power tool tips over
or when inadvertently coming into contact with
the saw blade.
b) Never remove cutting remainders, wood
chips, etc. from the sawing area while the
machine is running.
c) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
d) Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the work piece is clear of any adjusting
tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or
other objects that come in contact with the
rotating saw blade can strike the operator with
high speed.
e) Keep the floor free of wood chips and material
remainders. You could slip or trip.
f) Use the machine only for cutting the materials
listed under Intended Use. Otherwise, the
machine can be subject to overload.
g) Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very
hot while working.
h) Check the cable regularly and have a damaged
cable repaired only through an authorised
customer service agent. Replace damaged
extension cables. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
i) Store the machine in a safe manner when not
being used. The storage location must be dry and
lockable. This prevents the machine from storage
damage, and from being operated by untrained
persons.
j) Never leave the machine before it has come to
a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still
running can cause injuries.
k) Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.

BS305/BS340 04
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
10. Using an Extension Cable .
a) If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable for
the power input of the tool.
b) Grounded tools always require a three wire
extension cable.
c) As the distance from the supply outlet
increases you must use a heavier gauge
extension cable. Using extension cables with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible
tool damage.
d) The smaller the gauge number of the wire the
greater the capacity of the cord.
e) When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
