General safety instructions

WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety

precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury. Also, please read
and heed the advice given in the additional important safety
instructions.

1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work

areas and benches invite accidents and injury.

2. Consider the environment in which you are working.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
the work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain.
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

locked up out of reach.

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 for
which it was not intended.

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

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 if the drilling operation creates dust.

9. 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.

10. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold

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

11. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and

balanced at all times.

12. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean 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.

13. 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.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see

that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before switching on.

15. 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.

16. 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.

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

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

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

that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
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 part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated in
this Instruction Manual.
