General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
●
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areasinvite
accidents.
●
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases ordust. 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 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.
●
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 cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and 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) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
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. 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.
●
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.
●
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.
●
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
●
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.
●
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
●
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.
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.
Hammer Safety Warnings
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
●
hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of
●
control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
●
performing an operation where the cutting accessory or
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and
fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When transporting and storing, set the rotational
●
direction switch to the centre position. Danger of injury
when accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
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.
Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the
●
application tool moves freely. When switching on with a
blocked drilling tool, high torque reaction can occur.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
●
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
●
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and
●
plastic, a suitable SDS-Quick tool or an application tool with
hexagon shank can be used.
