WARNING

: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the 

time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop 
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the 
correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.

WARNING

: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, 

tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If 
necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not 
operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a 
greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the 
duration and frequency of operating the tool. 
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to international 
standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly 
maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise 
and vibration. 

www.osha.europa.eu

 provides information on sound and vibration levels in the 

workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.

General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. 

Failure to follow the warnings and 

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with 
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they 
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety. 

Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play 

with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or 

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1)  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 atmospheres, such as in the presence of 

flammable liquids, gases or dust. 

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or 

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 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, 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.

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 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.

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 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.

5

)   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.
