SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
■
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 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 the 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. The
maximum operating current
of the RCD must be less
than 30mA.
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 more
safely when operated 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 the battery pack 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■
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.
■
Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce the risk of personal
injuries.
■
Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before
connecting to the power
