VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels
of vibration transmitted to the hand and
arm. It is possible that the operator could
develop “Vibration white nger disease”
(Raynaud syndrome). This condition
can reduce the sensitivity of the hand
to temperature as well as producing
general numbness. Prolonged or regular
users of this machine should monitor
the condition of their hands and ngers
closely. If any of the symptoms become
evident, seek immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can inuence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g. the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible
appropriate working practices adopted.
Managing these factors can help reduce
the eects of vibration:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care,
allowing the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical eor t
on any of the machines controls.
• Consider your security and stabilit y,
and the orientation of the machine
during use.
Work Surface
• Consider the work surface material;
its condition, density, strength,
rigidity and orientation.
WARNING: The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can dier from
the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. The need
to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle, such as the times the tool is switched
o, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time).

POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specied in BS EN 60745-1:2009 &
EN 61029-1:2009)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
re 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 batter y-operated (cordless) 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 powe r 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.
(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.
Unmodied 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 elec tric 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 op erating a power to ol in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 t urn 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 star ting
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 aect
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 dierent from those intended

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.
