General power tool safety warnings

Warning! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions

listed below 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.

a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and 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

c. Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

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,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric

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.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the

risk of electric shock.

e. 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

f. 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

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.

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 personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the o-position before

connecting to 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

d. 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 result

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.6

(Original instructions)

f. Dress properly. 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.

g. If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust related

4. Power tool use and care

a. 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

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and o. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be

c. 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.

d. 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

e. Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may aect the power

tools operation. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

g. 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 dierent from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

a. Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will

make sure that the safety of the power

Warning! Additional safety warnings

for rotary and chiselling hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise

can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the

tool. Loss of control can cause personal

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting

accessory contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power

tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Never use a chisel accessory in rotary

mode. The accessory will bind in the

material and rotate the drill.

• Use clamps or another practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by

hand or against your body leaves it

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Before drilling into walls, floors or

ceilings, check for the location of wiring

• Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just

after drilling, as it may be hot.7
