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.
■
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.
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

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
aredangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
■
Maintain power tools.
Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any
other condition that may
affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly
maintained power 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 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

serious personal injury.
■
Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust

protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
■
Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before

up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that

of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
■

better control of the
power tool in unexpected
situations.

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.
