SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
designated by the symbol and
all instructions.
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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - WORK AREA SAFETY
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2) 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.
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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.
NOTE: The term “residual current device
(RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - PERSONAL SAFETY
1) 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.
2) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
7) 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - POWER TOOL USE
AND CARE
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7) 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.
8) Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - BATTERY TOOL USE
AND CARE
1) 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.
2) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3) 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.
4) 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS - SERVICE
1) 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.
