2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase 
the risk of electric shock.
4.  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.
5.  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.
6.  If operating a power tool in a damp location is 
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7.  Power tools can produce electromagnetic 
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user. 
However, users of pacemakers and other similar 
medical devices should contact the maker of their 
device and/or doctor for advice before operating 
this power tool.
Personal safety
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating 
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. 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.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 
switch is in the o-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.
4.  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.
5.  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times. This enables better control 
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6.  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.
7.  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.
8.  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.
9. 
Always wear protective goggles to protect your 
eyes from injury when using power tools. The 
goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in the USA.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the 
use of appropriate safety protective equipment 
by the tool operators and by other persons in 
the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does 
not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot 
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and 
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power 
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce 
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.  Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5. 
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for 
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may 
aect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have 
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents 
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6.  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and 
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool 
for operations dierent from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.
8. 
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles 
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling 
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work 
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may 
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by 
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for 
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re 
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery 
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 
from other metal objects, like paper clips, 
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 
objects, that can make a connection from one 
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
