WORK AREA SAFETY

 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or dark areas 

invite accidents.

 

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.

 

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power 
tool.

 Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 

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.

 

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.

 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

 Water 

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 
all times. 

This enables better control of the power tool in 

unexpected situations.

 

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.

 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the 
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush 
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical 
help.

 Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or 

burns.

 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. 

Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable 
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive 
temperature.

 Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C 

may cause explosion.

 

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the 
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified 
in the instructions.

 Charging improperly or at temperatures 

outside the specified range may damage the battery and 
increase the risk of fire.,

SERVICE

 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person 
using only identical replacement parts.

 This will ensure that 

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service of battery 

packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or 
authorised service providers.

ADDITIONAL GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the 
product. Check with your local authority for advice.

 

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions 
to use the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of 
the operator.

 

Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices 
function correctly. Do not use the product if the “off” switch 
does not stop the motor.

 

Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy gloves, as 
well as head protection while operating the product; use a face 
mask if operation is dusty.

 

Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, or jewellery 
of any kind.

 

Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent 
entanglement in moving parts.

 

Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects; keep all bystanders, 
children, and animals at least 15 m away from work area.

 

Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear 
view of the work area to identify potential hazards.

 

Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings 
(shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to 
what is going on in the working area.

 

Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing 
injury and the potential for other persons to enter your working 
area.

 

Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching 
can result in loss of balance and can increase the risk of kickback.

 

Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.

 

Inspect the product before each use. Check for correct operation 
of all controls. Check for loose fasteners, make sure all guards, 
and handles are properly and securely attached. Replace any 
damaged parts before use.

 

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.

 

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow 
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.

 

A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a 
second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.

 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly maintained 

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and 
are easier to control.

 

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.

 

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from 
oil and grease.

 Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not 

allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected 
situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

 

Recharge only with the charger specified by the 
manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for one type of battery 

pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery 
pack.

 

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery 
packs.

 Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury 

and fire.

 

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other 
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws 
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection 
from one terminal to another.

 Shorting the battery terminals 

together may cause burns or a fire.
