GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 an earth
leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth

leakage circuit breaker 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry 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

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 and accessories 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

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.
