SAFETY GUIDELINES
Work Area Safety
- Ensure that your work area is kept well
lit and clean.Lack of visibility and clutter
greatly increase the risk of accident.
- Keep bystanders and children clear
when operating a power tool or
machine. They can cause distraction or risk
injury themselves.
- Ensure you are not operating the
power tool or machinery in the
presence of ammable gases, dust,
liquids, or anything that creates an
explosive atmosphere. Power tools and
machinery can create sparks which can
lead to ignition in these environments.
Personal Safety
- Always wear personal protective
equipment. Eye protection, ear protection,
dust masks, and other protective
equipment will help to reduce the risk of
personal injury.
- Dress appropriately. DO NOT wear or
loose clothing that can get caught in
moving parts. Keep hair, loose clothing,
jewelery, and anything else that could be
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS &
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
instructions and warnings could lead to
serious injury, electric shock, or re.
of risk away from moving parts or they
could be caught.
- Always remain alert and DO NOT
operate the power tool or machinery
under the inuence of any substances
(drugs, medications, alcohol). Losing
focus could lead to injury while operating
power tools and machinery.
- Always keep proper footing and
balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping
and falling which can result in injury.
- Ensure the power switch is in the o
position before connecting any batter
or power source to the power tool or
machinery. This can lead to accidents
as tools and machinery can suddenly
re when it is not expected, leading to
accident.
- Use all provided dust collection and
extraction attachments if included. This,
with the use of dust masks, can help keep
you safe from dust and keep your work site
clear while working.
- Ensure loose parts such as a wrench
or adjusting key are removed before
starting the power tool or machinery.
Failure to remove these can result in
serious injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Electrical Safety
- DO NOT use the power tool or
machinery in raining conditions or
wet areas where the power tool or
machinery could get wet. Water in the
power tool or machinery can lead to
electric shock.
- Only use the power tool or machinery
when the plug correctly matches the
power outlet. Modifying plugs greatly
increases the risk of electric shock.
- Keep the power cord away from
anything that could damage it such as
sharp edges, moving parts or heat. A
damaged power cord increases the risk of
electric shock.
- Only operate outdoors with the use
of an outdoor extension lead. Not all
extension leads are suited to outdoor use
and using one which is not can greatly
increase the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with grounded
or earthed surfaces. Surfaces such as
radiators, ranges, pipes, and refrigerators
can increase the risk of electric shock due
to your body being earthed or grounded.
- Always use common sense and be
cautious when using tools. It is not
possible to anticipate every situation that
could result in a dangerous outcome. Do
not use this tool if you do not understand
these operating instructions or you feel the
work is beyond your training.
- Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specically designed to lter out
microscopic particles.
WARNING
Electric shock can cause serious injury
or, in some cases be fatal.

CAUTION
OPERATION
Changing the Die Position
Always be sure that the tool is
switched o and unplugged before

of the power tool in unexpected situations.
16. 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.
17. 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
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. 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
25. 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.
26. Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
