General Safety Rules
1. Keep work area clear.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp
or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250 - 300
Lux). Do not use the tool where there is a risk of causing fire
or explosion, e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids and
gases.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g., pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators). When using the tool
under extreme conditions (e.g., high humidity, when metal
swarf is being produced, etc.), electric safety can be
improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-
leakage circuit-breaker.
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 must be stored in a dry place and
locked up securely, out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate to 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 not intended; for example do
not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.

10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
12. Secure work.
13. Do not overreach.
14. Maintain tools with care.
15. Disconnect tools.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
19. Stay alert.
20. Check for damaged parts.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if
working operations create dust or flying particles. If these
particles might be considerably hot, also wear a heat-
resistant apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never
carry the tool by its cord.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It
is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles
and switches dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect
tools from the power supply.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the
tool.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that
the tool is in the "off" position before plugging in.
Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if
damaged. When the tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for outdoor use and marked
accordingly.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the tool when you are tired or under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable 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 authorized service centre unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service centre.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Never attempt any repairs yourself.
