parts.
• Ifdevicesareprovidedfortheconnectionofdustextractionandcollectionfacilities,
ensurethattheseareconnectedandproperlyused.Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Donotforcethepowertool.Usethecorrectpowertoolforyourapplication.The correct
power tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
• 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.
• Disconnecttheplugfromthepowersourceand/orthebatterypack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.
• Storeidlepowertoolsoutofthereachofchildren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.
• Maintainpowertools.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.
• Keepcuttingtoolssharpandclean.Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Usethepowertool,accessories,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.
Service
• Haveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedrepairpersonusingonlyidentical
replacementparts.This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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
ammable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 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ground-faultcircuit
interrupter(GFCI)protectedsupply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
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inuence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 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.
