safety precautions, including the following, should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, personal injury and material damage.

Read all of this manual carefully before operating
the tool.
•
Retain this manual for future reference.

Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
Consider work area environment
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp
or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use
the tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion,
e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
Keep children away
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the
work area or to touch the tool or mains cable.
Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can
be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear rubber
gloves and non-slip footwear when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of
the way.
Personal protection
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask
whenever the operations may produce dust or flying
particles. Hearing protection should be worn.
Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). Electric
safety can be further improved by using a high-sensitivity
(30 mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).
Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
Secure workpiece
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer
and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
Connect dust extraction equipment
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are
removed from the tool before operating the tool.
Extension cables
Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace
if damaged. When using the tool outdoors, only use
extension cables intended for outdoor use. Up to 30 m
of Black & Decker extension cable can be used without
loss of power.
Use appropriate tool
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was intended. Do not force the tool.
Warning!
The use of any accessory or attachment or
performance of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction manual may
present a risk of personal injury.
Check for damaged parts
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable for
damage. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving
parts, breakage of parts, damage to guards and switches
and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Do not use the tool if any part is
damaged or defective. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Have any damaged or defective
parts repaired or replaced by an authorised repair agent.
Never attempt any repairs yourself.
Unplug the tool
Unplug the tool when it is not in use, before changing
any parts of the tool, accessories or attachments and
before servicing.
Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the on/off switch. Be
sure that the tool is switched off when plugging in.
Do not abuse cord
Never carry the tool by its cord or pull it to disconnect
from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
Store idle tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, locked
up or high place, out of reach of children.
Maintain tools with care
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow the instructions for maintenance and
changing accessories. Keep handles and switches dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.

Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons
using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user.
