General Safety InStrUCtIOnS

Warning!

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instruc tions listed 
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. 
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below 
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery 
operated (cordless) power tool. Save these instructions.

1)  Work area

a.   Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark 

areas invite accidents.

b.   Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos  pheres, 

such as in the presence of flam mable liquids, gasses 
or dust. Power tools cre ate sparks which may ignite the 
dust of 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 which 
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 elec  tric 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 redu ces the risk of electric shock. Always 
use tool in con junction with a residual circuit breaker 
device.

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 medi ca tion. A moment of inattention while 
opera ting power tools may result in serious personal 
injury.

b.   Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c.   Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off 

position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with 
your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 con trol 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, jewel lery 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 these devices can 
reduce dust related hazards.

h.   Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using 

your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

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 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 misalign ment or binding 

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other 
condition that may affect the po wer tools operation.  
If dama ged, have the po wer tool repaired before use. 
Many acci dents 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 and in the manner 
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking 
into account the working conditions and the work to be 
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different 
from intended could result in hazardous situation.
