2. GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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.

2.1 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.

2.2 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 the cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges and 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 out-door 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.

2.3 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 distraction

while operating power tools may result in serious person al 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 appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from

4

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.

2.4 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.

2.5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 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.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create

a risk of injury and fire.

c) When the 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.

d) 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.

2.6 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.
