SAFETY INFORMATION
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all
safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
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.
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 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

SAFETY INFORMATION
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) The use of a residual
current device (RCD)
when using this tool is
recommended. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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
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 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.

from moving parts. Loose
clothes,jewellery or long
hair can be caught in

g) 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.
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.
