5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Power Tools Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow
all 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 electrical 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
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 dus
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 too
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 edge
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 intended could result i
a hazardous situation.
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 ma
create a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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.
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.
6) 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.

5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BATTERY POWERED TOOLS &
CHARGERS
Good Working Practices/Safety
The following suggestions will enable you to observe
good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers
safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good
working order.
WARNING!! LEAKING BATTERY PACKS
The electrolyte in the battery packs is corrosive, if a
battery pack is damaged and leaking, avoid
contact with the skin; if contact is made, flush
the area with running water, pat dry and seek
opportunity, inform the medical service that the
contaminant was a "high alkaline, corrosive liquid". If the
electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, flush with
copious amounts of water only, seek medical attention
immediately, relaying the information above.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Battery Powered Tools
Workplace/Environment
Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in
work areas.
It is good practice to leave the tool and the battery pack
separated until work is about to commence; if this is not
practical do not carry tools around with fingers near the
trigger switch, and engage the stop-lock of the tool if one
is available. It is preferable to move small tools e.g. drills
and jigsaws to the work area in their carrying/storage
cases; if this is not possible it is advisable that you do not
mount the blades or drill bits into the tool until you reach
the work area (they make effective stabbing tools if you
trip or stumble).
If you are working from ladders or towers, ensure they are
securely fixed/braced, and always maintain a balanced,
comfortable working posture; do not over-reach, or
perform simian agility exercises to get the work done, the
extra time required to move the ladder or tower is a good
trade off against injuries sustained from a fall. Similarly
non-slip footwear and non-slip surfaces are a good
investment.
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying
grit, dust, swarf or chips, wear the appropriate safety
clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc - if the work
operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear
ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style,
wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband,
will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up
in the rotating parts of the tool, likewise, consideration
should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches,
if these are liable to be a hazard.
Do not work with cutting tools of any description if you
are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being
subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost finger tip or
worse, is not worth it!
Do not use the tools within the designated safety areas of
flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be
volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised
tools for working in these areas, THESE ARE NOT THE
TOOLS FOR THESE AREAS.
Do not discard old batteries, or old cutting tools of any
description, into general rubbish; the cutting tools may
still be sharp enough to inflict an injury, and old batteries
if overheated or are part of rubbish that is to be disposed
of by burning, are an explosion hazard. Similarly, do not
dispose of old battery packs into clean water run-offs; if
they eventually leak, they will become a pollutant hazard.
medical attention and advice at the earliest
Check that cutting tools are undamaged and are kept
clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating
performance and lessen the loading on the tool.
5.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MAINS POWERED BATTERY
PACK CHARGERS
1. The charger is for INDOOR use only.
2. Prior to plugging the charger in to the supply, check
that the plug and the cable are in good repair. If
either are damaged, have the defective item replaced
immediately by a suitably qualified person. If the
casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good
policy to have the charger checked over by a suitably
qualified person.
3. Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide
power, do not plug into site generators, attach to
engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains
socket outlet that is not switched.
4. Only use the charger that was supplied with the
battery pack, and vice versa.
5. Do not attempt to charge battery packs that are too
hot (over 40ºC) or too cold (under 5ºC); if these
conditions apply set the battery aside to "normalise"
before proceeding with the charging operation.
6. Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it
won't be knocked, tripped over, stepped on, etc. and
where it is well ventilated; make sure the ventilation
slots in the charger case are not obstructed, plug the
charger into the socket outlet.
7. Inspect the battery pack for damage; if it is
undamaged, plug it into the charger, ensuring the
correct orientation. (Most chargers and batteries have
'keys' etc, to make sure the battery is not inserted
incorrectly, if you are having to 'force' the battery
into the charger, the chances are you have it the
wrong way round, check and try again.)
8. Switch the charger on and check that the correct
indicators illuminate, allow the battery pack to charge
(see the specific instructions for your charger). Once
charging is complete, switch the charger off, remove
the battery pack and store, repeat the procedure if
you have more than one battery to charge. Note that
some RAPID chargers require a "rest" period between
charges, read the instruction manual concerning your
specific charger to see if this is the case. After
charging is complete, unplug the charger from the
socket outlet by pulling on the plug. Do not pull on
the cable. Store the charger in a dry secure place.
9. If, when the charger was switched on, the correct
indications did not occur, leave for two or three
minutes to allow the charger to stabilise; if the correct
indications occur, allow the charging cycle to proceed
as normal. If no indication appears at all, switch off,
remove the battery pack, unplug the charger, check
that the charger contacts and the battery contacts are
clean and repeat the process; if there is still no
indication, switch off, remove the battery pack,
unplug the charger and check the fuse. If the fuse is
blown, replace and repeat the process; if the fuse
blows again, or if the fuse was intact, attempt no
further action. Refer the charger to a suitably
qualified person for assessment/repair.
