GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NON-OBSERVANCE OF THE SAFTTY RULES CAN LAED TO ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR
INJURIES.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric or pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions including
the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of the fire, electric shock and
personal inquiry.
Work and Safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
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
electrical shock.
Avoid body contract with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electrical 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
electrical 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
electrical shock.
When operating a power tools
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electrical shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
location unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a tool. Do not use a tool
while you are tired or under the
influences of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of
inattention, while operation tools
may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment. Such as a
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
4
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 tools with finger on the
switch or emerging power tools
that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result
in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enable better control of the
tool in unexpected situation.
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.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Tool Use and Care
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.

children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the power
tool. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for
misalignment binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other conditions that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. In accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the tool for
operations different from those

Additional Safety Instructions for all Operations.
Kickback and Related Warning
Kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush
or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes uncontrolled tool to be forced in the direction opposite of
the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.
The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on the
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
