General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all

WARNING

instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in elec-

tric 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. Clut-

tered 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. Distrac-

tions 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. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-

tors, 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 and moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the

risk of electric shock.

3 609 929 B34 | (3.4.08)

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for out-

door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-

door use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-

tion 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. Al-

ways wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-

tion 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 bat-

tery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-

ger on the switch or energising power

tools that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-

fore 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 unex-

pected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing 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 connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection fa-

cilities, ensure these are connected and

properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.
