SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
 WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, 
illustrations and specifications provided with this 
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 
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.
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. 
Unmodied 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 nger 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 and clothing 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of 
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore 
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause 
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 
remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
