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 entan-

gled 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

reduces 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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions 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 acci-
dents.

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 and clothing 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

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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

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 danger-
ous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha-
ble, 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 acci-
dentally.

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 dan-

gerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools and accessories care-
fully. 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.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
