General Safety Warnings

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.
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

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Safety Information

Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly

General Safety Warnings (continued)

• 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.

• 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,
clothing and gloves 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.

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 dangerous and must
be repaired.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• 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.

General Safety Warnings (continued)

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.

Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A

charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.

c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of

any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects

like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that
can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

• 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.

Drill Safety Warnings

1. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can

cause personal injury.

2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an

operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of

the power tool “live” and could.
