ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFE
TY WARNINGS
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.
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.

10
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
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

11
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
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

12
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.
f)Dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing 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 dust collection
can reduce dust-related
hazards.

13
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
remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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

14
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 and
accessories. 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 .
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 grasping

15
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.
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 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
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

16
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.
