General power tool safety warnings
Work area safety
>Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
>Do not operate power tools inexplosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable 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.
Unmodified 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.
WARNING ! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.

Safety warnings
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 influence 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 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 finger 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.
>Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 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,
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 collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 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.
>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

>Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power 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 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.
Service
>Have your power tools serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Hammer safety warnings
>Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
>
>
Use auxiliary handle supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
>
>
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
ope
ration where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
>When using this product it is essential that the following rules for use are
followed:
•When dri
lling it is common that the core / drill bit jams in the material being
drilled. This will result in the product trying to rotate around the drill bit and
potentially come out of your grip. This product has a safety clutch
mechanism. This safety clutch mechanism will be activated and stop the
drive to the drill bit BUT only if you resist the initial forces caused by the
jamming by securely holding the product with both hands.
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.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the work -
piece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pres -
sure. Bits can bend, causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal
injury
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque
and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may
occur resulting in personal injury”

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, sand-
stone and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials
such as concrete and mortar. The silica is broken into very fine dust (also
known as Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks
such as cutting, drilling and grinding Breathing in very fine particles of crystal-
line silica can lead to the development of:
> Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) And breathing in fine 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.

Safety warnings
> 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?
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 first.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that specially designed to filter 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 filter 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.
