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 the tool 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: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less .
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 .
Welding Safety
• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area . Always work in a
well-ventilated area . Avoid inhaling welding fumes, use a suitable respirator where appropriate
• Some metal parts may have zinc, lead, cadmium or other coatings . Attempting to weld through
these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes . Always remove all coatings before welding
• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat or eyes whilst welding, STOP IMMEDIATELY and
seek fresh air
• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light . To prevent eye damage, ALWAYS use an
approved welding face mask . Under no circumstances look directly at the arc
• The light produced when arc welding can be attractive to look at, especially to children . Always
prevent other people from viewing the arc welding light with unprotected eyes
• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable screening to
protect them from the light / glare
• Always replace the welder face mask glass as soon as it shows any signs of wear or damage
• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable fire-proof long sleeved jacket, heat proof gloves,
and cap . Keep covered up
• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from your clothing
before welding
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding
• Sparks generated while welding can ignite flammable materials easily in the welding area, so it
is important to remove flammable materials before commencing welding
• Only weld when the work area and all workpieces are dry
• Do not weld sealed containers (e .g . fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums) . The heat generated from
welding can cause sealed containers to burst without warning
• Be aware of transferred heat . Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work area and cause
ignition of flammable materials
• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining. Allow to cool completely
before handling, or leaving unattended
• Never weld where flammable gases, liquids or dust are present
• Ensure that there is always a responsible person nearby to alert you to any fire, or to call help
in an emergency
• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic fields. This may disturb the operation
of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should consult a doctor before using a
welding machine
• Do not overload power supply. Check that your mains wiring is capable of delivering the required
current safely (see specification)
