1.2 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.

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
1.5 Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger

FOR THE CHARGER
Your WORKPRO tool with Lithium Ion
batteries may only be charged with the
specific designed WORKPRO Lithium
Ion battery charger purchased with the
tool. IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE ANY
OTHER BATTERY CHARGER TO
CHARGE YOUR TOOL.

subjected to a heavy knock, dropped or
otherwise damaged in anyway. Take the
charger to an authorised service centre
for a check or repair.
Do not disassemble the charger.
Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly can
cause electric shock when you use the
tool or charger again. Take the charger
to a power tool repair centre when
service or repair is required. Incorrect
re-assembly may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble any part of the product.
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.
