Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings

Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions listed below may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

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 tools
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.

• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of

control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.

• Never use a chisel accessory in rotary mode. The
accessory will bind in the material and rotate the drill.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

• Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for the

location of wiring and pipes.

• Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after drilling, as it

may be hot.

• This tool is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• The intended use is described in this instruction manual.

The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may present a

risk of personal injury and/or damage to property.

• Use a face or dust mask whenever the operations may
produce dust or flying particles.

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.

Additional power tool safety warnings

Warning! Additional safety warnings for rotary

and chiselling hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.

Safety of others

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

Residual risks.

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool
which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings.

the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
can not be avoided. These include:

• Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.

• Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or

accessories.

• Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using

any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.

• Impairment of hearing.

• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed

when using your tool (example:- working with wood,
especially oak, beech and MDF.)

Labels on tool

The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
