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 and clothing 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.

h)   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 

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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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. 

 h)   Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
