GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! 

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 mains-operated (corded) power 

tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA

f

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents.

f

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres,  such  as  in  the  presence  of  flammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

  Power  tools  create  sparks 

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

f

Keep children and bystanders away while oper

-

ating a power tool.

 Distractions can cause you to 

lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

f

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt-

er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 

risk of electric shock.

f

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.

f

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions.

 Water entering a power tool will increase the 

risk of electric shock.

f

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car

-

rying, 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.

f

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 elec

-

tric shock.

f

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

f

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.

f

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.

f

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 pow

-

er tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

f

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.

f

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal

-

ance at all times.

 This enables better control of 

the power tool in unexpected situations.

f

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 

away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewelery 

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

f

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

f

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.

f

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.

f

Disconnect the plug from the power source 

and/or  the  battery  pack  from  the  power  tool 

before  making  any  adjustments,  changing  ac

-

cessories, or storing power tools.

 Such preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 

power tool accidentally.

f

Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren 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.

f

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.

f

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

f

Use  the  power  tool,  accessories  and  tool  bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing into account the working conditions and the 

work to be performed.

 Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended could re

-

sult in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

f

Recharge  only  with  the  charger  specified  by  the 

manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for one type of 

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery pack.

f

Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery  packs.

  Use  of  any  other  battery  packs  may 

create a risk of injury and fire.

f

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
