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 at-

mospheres, such as in the presence of flamma-
ble liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while op-

erating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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) pow-
er 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 elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric 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.

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 seri-
ous 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 appropri-
ate 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 bet-
ter 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.

Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool.

Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-
rect 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 can-
not 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 ac-
cessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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 poor-
ly 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, 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 result in a hazardous situation.

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.
