IMPORTANT: FOR YOUR OWN
SAFETY AND BYSTANDERS READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING THE MACHINE.
PLEASE KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions 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.
Work area safety:
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• 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 the 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.
NOTE The term “residual current device
(RCD)” may be replaced by the term
“ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or
“earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
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 in attention 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.
Important Safeguards
• 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
starting the power tool. A wrench or a key
left in a rotating part of the tool may result in
a personal injury.
