6. 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.
NOTE The term residual current device (RCD) may be replaced by the term ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface petted better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Tool Use and Care
1 .Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
6. 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
7. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
8. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
9. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
10. Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based product, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool.
