General Safety Warnings
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions 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.
• Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
- 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.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
• Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs must match the socket. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
4
- 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.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
- 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.
- 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.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD
with a tripping current of 30mA or less) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
NOTE: The term ‘residual current device (RCD)’ may
be replaced by the term ‘ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI)’ or ‘earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)’.
5
• Personal safety
- 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.
- Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment, such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
- 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 energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning
the power tool on. A spanner or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress sensibly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
6
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Power tool use and care
- 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.
- 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.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack 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.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
- Maintain 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.
7
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- 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.
• Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Battery safety warnings
• Immediately remove the battery from the charger after
charging is complete.
• Remove the charged battery from the charger when not
in use.
• Never try to charge a damaged battery.
• Non-rechargeable batteries must not be charged.
• Improper use of lithium-ion and lithium-polymer cells
and batteries may overheat, explode or self-ignite the
cells or batteries and cause serious injury.
8
• Pay attention to correct polarity when inserting the
battery.
• Do not short-circuit the positive and negative terminals
of the battery (e.g. on a wire).
• Do not wear or store the battery with necklaces,
hairpins, or other metal objects.
