illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area 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. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
> 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.

> Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric 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 electric shock.
> 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.
> 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.
Personal safety
> 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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. 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 a dust 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
power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
>Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
>Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing 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 collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
> Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
>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 the rate for which it was designed .
> Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
> Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable,from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

The following information applies to professional users
only but is good practice for all users:
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION
DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the
risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this
because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a
nuisance, it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things
like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in
many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The
silica is broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable
Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as
cutting, drilling and grinding. Breathing in very ne particles of
crystalline silica can lead to the development of:
Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder/
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) And breathing
in ne particles of wood dust can lead to the development
of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to people who
regularly breathe construction dust over a period of time, not
on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the
amount of these dusts that you can breathe (called a Workplace
Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a normal working
day. These limits are not a large amount of dust: when compared
to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt:
This limit is the legal maximum, the most you can breathe after
the right controls have been used.
How to reduce the amount of dust?

11
MSDD18-Li-2 Safety information
Getting Started . . .
1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of
building products.
2. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle
grinder.
3. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a
nail gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling holes
rst.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles and use the dust extraction facility at all time.
For more information please see the HSE website:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/
pubns/cis69.pdf
Warning: Some dust particles created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drill and other construction jobs
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
>Lead from lead-based paints.
>Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
> Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals:
>Work in a well-ventilated area.
> Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to lter microscopic particles.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has
been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome
injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the
period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis
and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL FOR THE VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a
minimum level and should be used with the current guidance
on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of use can be difcult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test stated above and may be
used to compare one tool with another tool.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following
examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use of the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is
sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these
instructions.
