IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION  

General Power Tool Safety Warnings  

3. Personal safety  

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and  

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations  

and specifications provided with this power tool.  

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may  

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.  

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.  

Save all warnings and instructions  

for future reference.  

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.  

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.  

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the  

switch is in the off-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 energizing power  

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  

Cluttered 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.  

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 in personal injury.  

2. Electrical safety  

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and  

balance at all times. This enables better control  

of the power tool in unexpected situations.  

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.  

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or  

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves  

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry  

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.  

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 grounded.  

g. If devices are provided for the connection of  

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure  

these are connected and properly used. Use of  

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.  

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet  

conditions. Water entering a power tool  

will increase the risk of electric shock.  

h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent  

use of tools allow you to become  

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.  

complacent and ignore tool safety principles.  

A careless action can cause severe  

injury within a fraction of a second.  

i. Only use safety equipment that has been  

approved by an appropriate standards agency.  

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide  

adequate protection. Eye protection must be  

ANSI-approved and breathing protection  

must be NIOSH-approved for the  

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 shock.  

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location  

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit  

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of  

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.  

specific hazards in the work area.  

j. Avoid unintentional starting.  

Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.  

k. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to  

a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the  

surface and pull the tool out of your control.  

l. When using a handheld power tool,  

maintain a firm grip on the tool with both  

hands to resist starting torque.
