Safety instructions
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas at the workplace invite accidents. Do not operate
power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. 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
over the activity performed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce the 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 or 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 residual current device (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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal means of protection. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used in conformity with the working conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting the battery, storing or
carrying the power tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting tools or wrenches before turning the power tool on. An adjusting tool or wrench 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 these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
