GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! Read all safety warnings,
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
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.
1) 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, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

4
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
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.
3) 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

5
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment (PPE).
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.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the 'off' position before connecting
to a power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising 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 a key left
attached to a rotating part of the 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 collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

6
h. 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.
4) 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 the
rate for which it was designed.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
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 parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the

7
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.
h. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When the 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

8
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) 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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.

9
Screwdriver safety warning
a. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessories that contact a 'live'
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Safety Warnings for battery cells inside the tool
a. Do not dismantle, open or shred cells.
b. Do not short-circuit a charging terminal. Do
not store power tools haphazardly in a box
or drawer where the charging terminal may
short-circuit each other or be short-circuited
by conductive materials. When the power tool 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 charging terminal to another.
c. Do not expose the power tool to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d. Do not subject a power tool to mechanical
shock.
e. In the event of battery leakage, do not allow
