The intended use is described in this manual. The use of
any accessory or attachment or the performance
of any operation with this appliance other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury.

The term “appliance” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) appliance.

b. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
c. Only use the appliance in daylight or good
artificial light.
d. Do not operate your appliance in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.

while operating an appliance. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

i. Do not immerse the appliance in water.
j. Do not open body casing. There are no
userserviceable parts inside.
2. Electrical Safety
a.
Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) Appliance.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b. Do not expose appliance to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a appliance will increase the risk of
electric shock.
c. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the appliance.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
d. When operating an appliance outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
e. If operating an appliance in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Note: The term “Residual Curent Device
(RCD)” can be replaced by “Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI)” or by “Earth Leakage Circuit
Breaker (ELCB)”.
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. Where required, use personal protective
equipment.
Protective equipment such as eye
protection, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the appliance. Carrying appliances with
your finger on the switch or energising appliances that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the appliance in unexpected situations.
e. 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.
4. Appliance Use and Care
a. Before use, check the appliance for damaged or
defective parts. Check for breakage of parts,
damage to switches and any other conditions that may
affect its operation.
