Environmental protection

Recycle unwanted materials instead of
disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses
and packaging should be sorted, taken to
the local recycling centre and disposed of
in an environmentally safe way.

Do not expose power tools to rain and high humidity.
Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.

3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors

and onlookers, especially children and infirm persons
should be kept well away from where you are working.
Do not let others in the vicinity make contact with the
tool or extension cord.

4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be

stored in a dry, high place or locked up out of the
reach of children and infirm persons.

5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better

and safer working at the rate for which it was
designed.

6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small

tools or attachments to do the job best handled by a
heavier duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose other
than that for which it was intended.

7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and
non-slip footwear are recommended when working
outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a protective hair
covering.

8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs

should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also
required.

9. Connect dust extraction equipment. If devices are

provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are connected
and properly used.

10. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to

disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

11. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold

the workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and
frees both hands to operate the tool.

12. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and

balanced at all times.

13. Look after your tools. Keep tools clean and sharp for

better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect
tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace them if
damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.

14. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and

disconnect the plug from the power point before
servicing, when changing accessories and when the
tool is not in use.

15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the

habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before switching
it on.

16. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the

switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
tool to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in
tool with your finger on the switch.

17. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is

used outdoors, use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use and are so marked.

18 Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are
tired.

19. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check

that there are no damaged parts. If a part, such as a
guard is damaged, carefully determine if it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, proper mounting and
any other conditions that may affect the operation of
the tool. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated
in this Instruction Manual. Defective switches must be
replaced by an authorised service facility.
