GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NON-OBSERVANCE OF THE SAFEY RULES CAN LEAD TO ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR INJURIES.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric or pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions including the following,
should always be followed to reduce the risk of the re, electric shock and personal inquiry.
WORK AND SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres , such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electrical shock.
• Avoid body contract with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• 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 electrical shock.
• When operating a power tools outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electrical shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electrical shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not use a tool
while you are tired or under the inuences of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention, while
operation tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment. Such as a
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• 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 tools with nger on the switch
or emerging power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enable better control of the
tool in unexpected situation.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust can reduce dust-related hazards.

TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the 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.
• Disconnect from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjusting, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the 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 tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Have your tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS.
• Maintain a rm grip on the tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist torque forces.
• Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions, if proper precautions taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control.
