SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/
OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED
BELOW REFERS TO YOUR BATTERY OPERATED (CORDLESS) POWER TOOL.

WORK AREA

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

2. 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.

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

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed or grounded.

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

3. 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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 personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting the battery.

4. 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. 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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. 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 which it was
designed.

2. 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.

3. Disconnect the battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle 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.

5. 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.

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

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

SERVICE

1. 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.

protected.

• Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area.
