replacement parts by a competent technician.

(1.15 )

OUTDOOR USE
WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to

be used outdoors it should not be exposed to
rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place
the tool on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry
workbench if available. For added protection
use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will
interrupt the supply if the leakage current to
earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check
the operation of the residual current device
(R.C.D.) before using the machine.
If an extension cable is required it must be a
suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled.
The manufacturers instructions should be
followed when using an extension cable.

(2 .1)

POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock,
re and/ or serious injury.

Note: This power tool should not be powered
on continuously for a long time.

Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool

(2.2)

1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 ammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
d) Do not use this machine in an enclosed
room.

(2.3)

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the 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 a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

(2.4)

3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 to prevent
injury from sparks and chippings. Protective
equipment such as dust masks, 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o-positionbefore

connecting to power source and or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the switch or
energising the 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
key left attached to a rotating part of a 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 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
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) When cutting metal, gloves should be worn
before handling to prevent from getting burnt
from hot metal.

4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 a rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

doesnotturnitonoro.Anypowertool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the power
source and/or battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventative
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 moving parts and any other

conditionthatmayaectthepowertools

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dierentfrom

those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

(2.6)

5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Service]
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

(2.7)

HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine, dust

particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful.
If you suspect that paint on the surface
of material you wish to cut contains lead,
seek professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks associated
with the materials you are working with and to
reduce the risk of exposure. As some materials
can produce dust that may be hazardous to
your health, we recommend the use of an
approved face mask with replaceable lters
when using this machine.

You should always:

• Workinawell-ventilatedarea.

• Workwithapprovedsafetyequipment,

such as dust masks that are specially
designed to lter microscopic particles.

(2.8)

WARNING: the operation of any power tool

can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where necessary.
