GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
   Never allow children to operate the tool.
   Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the tool.

Electrical safety

Before connecting the power tool to power supply socket, make sure the voltage indicated on the power tool corresponds to the voltage in the power supply socket.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 shock.

Personal safety

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jeweler or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.

Power tool use and care

1. 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 rated speed for which it was designed.
2. Do not leave the power tool unattended when it’s working.
3. Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the power tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
4. Keep handles and grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
5. 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 could give the operator an electric shock.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. This power tool may be used by children who are above 8 years old and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised and guided by a person who is responsible for their safety in a cautious manner for all the safety precautions being understood and followed.

Additional safety warnings for screwdrivers

• Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good balance. The tool is best guided with both hands. If bit gets locked, a strong torque reaction may occur when screwing in or loosening screws.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs or against your body. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. An unstable workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool and/or injury.
• Do not use dull or damaged bits and/or accessories. Dull or damaged bits/accessories have a greater tendency to get jammed in the workpiece, or to break, or to be ejected.
• When installing a bit/accessory in the chuck, insert the shank of the bit/accessory well inside the chuck. If the bit / accessory is not inserted deeply enough, the grip of the chuck over the shank of the bit / accessory is greatly reduced likely to increase the risk of loss of control. After inserting the bit, pull on it, so as to ensure that it is properly locked.
• If the bit becomes bound or jammed in the workpiece, immediately stop the tool by releasing the trigger switch, then reverse the rotation direction and slowly squeeze on the trigger switch to release and remove the bit. Be ready for strong reaction torque likely to cause a kickback.
• Never grasp the tool (the chuck or the bit/accessory) while in motion and never place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Laceration hazard.
• Never change the rotation direction of the chuck while the tool is still running. Ensure that the chuck has come to a complete stop before changing rotation direction.
• Avoid touching the drill bit just after use, as it may be hot. Similarly, when removing the bit/accessory from the tool, wear protective gloves to grasp it. Accessories (bits) may become hot after prolonged use. Avoid contact with skin. Burn hazard.
• Always wait until the chuck and accessory have come to a complete stop before placing it down.
• Some materials may contain chemicals that can be toxic. Avoid inhalation of dust and any contact with the skin.
