1 - Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 - Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 - Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 - Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in
the work touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work
area
5 - Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place,
out of reach of children
6 - Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended
7 - Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool
Do not use tools for purposes for which they are not intended; for example do not use
circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs
8 - Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 - Use protective equipment
-Use safety glasses
-Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause personal
injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10 - Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly
used
11 - Do not abuse the power cable - Never pull the power cable to disconnect it from the
socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or
entangled power cables increase the risk of electric shock
12 - Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hands
13 - Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 - Maintain tools with care
- Keeping cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less
likely to bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and have them repaired by an authorised
service facility if damaged
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 - Disconnect tools - Disconnect tools from the power supply when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in a risk of injury to persons.
16 - Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on
17 - Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off" position when connecting to
a mains socket, inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 - Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use of an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock

19 - Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you
are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
20 - Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function
- Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not switch it on and off. The switch
must be repaired before the tool is used.
21 - Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the
relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons,
otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre.
22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - 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)".
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
Polarized Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
