General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your main-
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
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 the 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 the 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.
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, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce the risk
of injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to the power source
and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
power tools that have been turned 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 increase the risk of
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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
by moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
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 is designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if it can’t be turned on and off
by its switch. 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 before storing the
power tool. Such preventive safety measure reduces the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate it. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain the 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.
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 fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If you accidentally contact the battery
liquid, flush it with water. If the battery liquid contacts the
eyes, seek medical help as soon as possible. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
professional using only the identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
