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.

professional users.
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 the warnings refers to 
your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery 
operated (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.
