ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a powertool. 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.
f) 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.
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
with this fluid. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek urgent medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
a) 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.
