General safety rules

WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

Save these instructions

1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and 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
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.

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 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 these are
connected and properly used.

Use of these devices

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.

5

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.

5. Battery tool use and care
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

inserting battery pack.

Inserting the battery pack into

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

b. 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.

c. Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

d. 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.

e. 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.

Additional safety instructions for rotary tools

WARNING. The use of an accessory or attachment, other

than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may
present a risk of personal injury.

• Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than that of

the maximum no load speed shown on the rating label.

• Always wear eye, ear and breathing protection.

• Do not apply too much pressure when grinding,

cutting, etc.

• Keep your hands well clear of the cutting devices.

• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold

your work.

• Always switch off before you put the tool down.

• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

• Do not put pressure on the tool, such that it slows the

motor down. Allow the attachments to work without
pressure. You will get better results and you will be taking
better care of your tool.

• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.
