1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operang a power tool. Distracons 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. Unmodied 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
condions. 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 operang 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.
f) If operang a power tool in a damp locaon 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 operang a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are red or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medicaon. A
moment of inaenon while operang power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protecve equipment. Always wear
eye protecon. Protecve equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protecon used for appropriate condions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintenonal starng. Ensure the switch
is in the o-posion before connecng to power
source and/or baery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusng key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key le
aached to a rotang part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foong and balance
at all mes. This enables beer control of the
power tool in unexpected situaons.
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.
g) If devices are provided for the connecon of dust
extracon and collecon facilies, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collecon can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your applicaon. The correct power tool
will do the job beer 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 o. 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 the baery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such prevenve safety
measures reduce the risk of starng the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instrucons to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condion that may aect the power
tool’s operaon. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cung tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cung tools with sharp cung 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 instrucons, taking into
account the working condions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operaons
dierent from those intended could result in a
hazardous situaon.
h) Keep handles and grasping 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 situaons.
5) Baery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of baery pack may create a risk of re when
used with another baery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically designated
baery packs. Use of any other baery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c) When baery 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 connecon from one terminal to another.
