Safety instructions

WARNING. Read and understand 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 below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use

of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.

Personal Safety

1. 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.

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

3. 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.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to

a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power

tool in unexpected situations.

6. 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.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure that
these are connected and properly used. Use of these

devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

Service

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
