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.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)

Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions

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 grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
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
shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp

current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
