Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all 
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings 
and instructions listed below may result in 
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. 
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers 
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1.  Work area safety
a.  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 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 operating a 
power tool. Distractions 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. Unmodied 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 conditions. 
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 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.
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.
3.  Personal safety
a.  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 inuence 
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 nger 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.
g.  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.
4.  Power tool use and care
a.  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.
b.  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.
c.  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.
d.  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.
