WARNING! When using power tools, the following safety instructions must be observed to reduce the risk
of personal injury and property damage. Please read and observe the following instructions before use.
1. Keep work area clean
An untidy and cluttered work area increases
the risk of accidents.
2. Use eye protection
Safety glasses or goggles must be worn.
A facemask should also be worn when dust
is generated, particularly when fine dust is
generated as with MDF.
3. Wear suitable work clothes
Don’t wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts and may
cause injury. For outdoor work rubber gloves
and non-slip footwear are advised. Wear a
protective hair net to contain long hair.
4. Guard against electric shock
Avoid any body contact with grounded surfaces
eg. pipes, radiators, stoves, and refrigerator
enclosures.
5. Observe work area environment
Do not expose power tools to rain or damp and
wet conditions. Do not use power tools in close
proximity to flammable liquids or gases. The work
area should be well lit and well ventilated.
6. Keep children away
Children should be kept away from the work area.
Do not permit them to handle the tool or tool cable.
7. Secure the work pieces
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. This will free
up both hands to operate the tool, which is safer.
8. Don’t overreach when working
Keep a balanced footing at all times. Avoid
abnormal stances and awkward body positioning.
9. Do not overload or force tools
Tools operate better in the specified performance
ranges. Forcing the tool may cause motor damage.
10. Check for damage
Before further use always check the protection
guards carefully to ensure proper operation and
performance. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mountings and any other condition that may effect
the tools operation. An authorised service dealer
should properly repair all damaged parts unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction
manual. Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
11. Repairs
This power tool is built in accordance with the
relevant safety standards. An electrical specialist
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
must carry out repairs, otherwise accidents
may result.
12. Pull out power plug
When changing accessories or when the tool
is not in use.
13. Use the right tool
Do not force a small tool or accessory to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Only use the tool for its
intended purpose.
14. Maintain tools with care
For efficient and safe operation tools should be
kept clean and the accessories ie. saw blade,
should be sharp during use. Check the plug and
cable regularly, if damaged they should be
repaired by an authorised electrical specialist.
15. Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry tools by the switch. Always check
that the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source.
16. Don’t abuse power cable
Never carry the tool by the power cable. Do not
use the power cable to pull the plug out of the
power point. The cable should also be protected
from heat, oil and sharp objects.
17. Storage
When not in use your power tools should be
stored in a dry area, which is not accessible to
children.
18. Stay alert
Do not use the tool when you are tired. Use
common sense and watch what you are doing.
19. Remove keys and spanners
Do not forget to remove any adjustment keys,
spanners and wrenches before switching on
the tool.
20. Voltage warning
Before connecting the tool to the power source
ensure the voltage specified on the nameplate is
the same as the voltage supply. A power source
with voltage greater than specified on the tool can
cause serious injury and damage to the tool. Using
a power source with voltage less than the tool
rating can cause damage to the motor.
Do not plug in tool if you are in doubt.
21. Recommended use
Please note the use of tools other than those
described in instruction manuals or in the product
catalogues can result in a risk of personal injury.
