Original Instructions
■ 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
■ 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.
■ Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a 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.
■ 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.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
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 safer 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 switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
■ 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.
■ 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 and
accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
