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
