current device (RCD) protected supply. 

Use 

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3)   Personal  safety

a)  

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.

b)  

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.

c)  

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 energising power tools that have the 
switch on invites accidents.

d)  

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.

e)  

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times. 

This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)  

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.

g)  

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

.

h)  

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent 
use of tools allow you to become 
complacent and ignore tool safety principles.

A careless action can cause severe injury within 
a fraction of a second.

4)   Power tool use and care

a)  

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.

b)  

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.

c)  

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.

d)  

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.

e)  

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.

g)   

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.

h)

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 
clean and free from oil and grease.

 Slippery 

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow 
for safe handling and control of the tool in 
unexpected situations.

5)   Battery tool use and care

a)  

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.

b)  

Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs. 

Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c)  

When battery pack is not in use, keep it 
away from other metal objects, like paper 
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other 
small metal objects that can make a 
connection from one terminal to another

.
