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, fire 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 
operated (cordless) power tool.
1.   Work area safety
a.   Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark 
areas invite accidents.
b.   Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 
such as in the presence of flammable 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. 
Unmodified 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 
influence 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 finger 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 
areconnected and properly used. Use of these 
devices 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.
