General Power Tool Safety 
Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all 
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 bat-
tery-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. 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. 
Unmodified 
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the 
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 or moving parts. 
Dam-
aged or entangled cords increase the risk 
of electric shock.
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 dusk 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 finger on 
the switch or energizing power tools that 
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench 
or a key that is left attached to a rotating 
part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected 
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, 
and gloves away from moving parts. 
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be 
caught in moving parts.
