Safety Notes
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 
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.
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 cur-
rent 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 

moment of inattention while operating 
power tools may result in serious person-
al 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.
