SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all 
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and 
instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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 
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 
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. 
e)    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. 
f)    Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are 
less likely to bind and are easier to control. 
g)  Use the power tool, accessories and 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. 
5)    Battery tool use and care
a)   Recharge only with the charger specified by the 
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
