GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

The rating plate on your tool may show symbols. These represent important information about the product or instructions on its use.

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.

1)

Work area safety

a)

Keep work area clean and well lit

.  

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b)

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the 

presence of 

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may 

ignite the dust or fumes.

c)

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2)

Electrical safety

a)

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. 

Unmodified plugs 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 location is unavoidable, use a 

residual 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

.

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.

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

. 

Shorting the 

battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d)

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; 

avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid 

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help

. 

Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only 

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

Battery charger safety instructions

1. 

Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the 

charger, battery pack and the product using the battery pack.

2. 

This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable 

batter­ies.­Any­other­use­may­result­in­risk­of­fire,­electric­shock­or­

3. 

Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft 

surface that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a 

position away from any heat source.

4. 

To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather 

than the cord when disconnecting the charger.

5. 

Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or 

otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

6. 

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of 

an­im­proper­extension­cord­could­result­in­the­risk­of­fire,­electric­shock­or­

electrocution.

7. 

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or 

other wise damaged in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power 

tool repairer.

8. 

Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer 

when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of 

electric­shock,­electrocution­or­fire.

9. 

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before 

attempt ing any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

10.  Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

11. 

DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the 

temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as inside sheds or metal 

buildings in summer).

12.  The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power 

(240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!

13.  The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety 

instruc tions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.

14.  The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack 

is charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge 

the battery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is 

important and will prevent damage to the battery pack.

15.  Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is 

completely­worn­out.­The­battery­can­explode­in­a­fire.

16.  Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing
