IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
WORK AREA 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 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.
•
Outdoor use. Do not expose to rain; store
indoors.
•
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 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.
•
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 influrence of drugs, alchohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
•
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
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.
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
•
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
•
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
If devices are provided for the connection of
•
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
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.
•
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation.
•
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 power 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 power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
•
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
•
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
•
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modfied. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
2

•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
•
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
•
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.

WARNING
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Iead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well-ventilated area, and work with
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic
