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
