The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operate

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mo ify the plug in any way. Do
not use any a apter plugs with earthe (groun e ) power tools. Unmo ifie
plugs an matching outlets will re uce risk of electric shock.
• Avoi bo y contact with earthe or groun e surfaces, such as pipes, ra iators,
ranges an refrigerators. There is an increase risk of electric shock if your bo y
is earthe or groun e .
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con itions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cor . Never use the cor for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cor away from heat, oil, sharp e ges or moving parts.
Damage or entangle cor s increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool out oors, use an extension cor suitable for
out oor use. Use of a cor suitable for out oor use re uces the risk of electric
shock.
• If operating a power tool in a amp location is unavoi able, use a resi ual
current evice (RCD) protecte supply. Use of an RCD re uces the risk of
electric shock. Note: The term “Resi ual Current Device (RCD)” may be replace
by the term “groun fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)”
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are oing an use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tire or un er the influence
of rugs, alcohol or me ication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as ust mask, non-ski safety shoes, har hat or hearing
protection use for appropriate con itions will re uce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to a power source an /or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites acci ents.
• Remove any a justing key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attache to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing an balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpecte situations
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
an gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• If evices are provi e for the connection of ust extraction an collection
facilities, ensure these are connecte an properly use . Use of ust collection

• Do not use the tool if the switch oes not turn it on an off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlle with the switch is angerous an must be repaire .
• Disconnect the plug from the power source an /or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any a justments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventative safety measures re uce the risk of starting the
power tool acci entally.
• Store i le power tools out of the reach of chil ren an o not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are angerous in the han s of untraine users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bin ing of moving parts,
breakage of parts an any other con ition that may affect the power tools
operation. If amage , have the power tool repaire before use. Many acci ents
are cause by poorly maintaine power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp an clean. Properly maintaine cutting tools with sharp
e ges are less likely to bin an are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories an tool bits etc. in accor ance with these
instructions, taking into account the working con itions an the work to be
performe . Use of the power tool for operations ifferent from those inten e
coul result in a hazar ous situation.
