OUTDOOR USE
WARNING:
For your protection if this tool
is to be used outdoors it should not be
exposed to rain, or used in damp locations.
Do not place the tool on damp surfaces.
Use a clean, dry workbench if available. For
added protection use a residual current
device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt the supply
if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA
for 30ms. Always check the operation of the
residual current device (R.C.D.) before using
the machine.
If an extension cable is required it must be a
suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled.
The manufacturers instructions should be
followed when using an extension cable.

POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Note:
This power tool should not be
powered on continuously for a long time.
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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
d)
Do not use this machine in an enclosed
room.
(2.3)
2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 the 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.
(2.4)
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 to prevent injury from
sparks and chippings. Protective equipment
such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes,
