2. Electrical safety

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.

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 an RCD

re duces the risk of electric shock.

3. 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 inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.

A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

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.

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.

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.

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, jewel-

lery 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

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.

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.

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.

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.
