Safety instructions

General power tool safety
warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
1 Work area safety
1.1 Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
1.2 Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
1.3 Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2 Electrical safety
2.1 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.
2.2 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.
2.3 Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
2.4 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.
2.5 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.
2.6 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.
3 Personal safety
3.1 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
3.2 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
personal injuries.
3.3 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.
3.4 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.
3.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

3.6 Dress properly. Do not wear 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.
3.7 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.
4 Power tool use and care
4.1 Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
4.2 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.
4.3 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.
4.4 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 danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
4.5 Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
4.6 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
4.7 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.
