WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such

as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gases or dust. Pow-

er 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. Unmodi

ed 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, pull-

ing 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 out-
door 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 in

uence 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 pro-

tection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off-position before connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your

nger on the switch or energising 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 unex-
pected 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 mov-
ing parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-

tion 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 bat-

tery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, 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 dan-
gerous 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 accord-

ance 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 quali

ed repair person

using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
