Instruction & User Manual

Read all safety warnings, instructions and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference.

WARNING!

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

m Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

m 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.

m Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

m 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.

m 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.

m Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

m Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

m 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.

m If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

m 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.

m Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

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

m Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on

the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
