(2.2)
1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
(2.3)
2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Electrical Safety]
a) 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 the risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
(2.4)
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a) 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
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust masks, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) 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 the power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
of a power tool may result in personal injury .
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and

4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Power tool use and care].
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at a rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the
power source and/or battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) 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 dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of moving parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) 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.
(2.6)
5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Service]
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
(2.7)
HEALTH ADVICE
£WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful.
If you suspect that paint on the surface
of material you wish to cut contains lead,
seek professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Workinawell-ventilatedarea.
• Workwithapprovedsafetyequipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
(<2.8)
£WARNING: the operation of any power
tool can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in severe
eye damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shield or a full face shield
where necessary. (2.8>)
