WARNING:
When using any electrical appliance,
basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following, to reduce
the risk of re, electrical shock, or injury.
Work area:
•Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust and fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
•Not to be used as a toy. Not to be used
near children. Never allow children to use
the power tool. When not in use store the
power tool out of the reach of children.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
operating the power tool, distractions can
cause you to lose control.
•Always be sure of your footing on ladders
or slopes, do not over-reach or use on
excessively steep slopes.
Electrical safety:
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
•Do not use any adaptor plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
•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.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
•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.
•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.
•If the cord becomes damaged during use
disconnect the cord from the power supply
immediately- DO NOT touch the cable
before disconnecting.
•Before use check the power supply and
charger cables for signs of damage or
ageing.
•When charging or operating the power
tool it is recommended that the appliance
should be supplied via a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current of not
more than 30mA.
•Do not handle the charger or the power
tool with wet hands.
