SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING
Read
all
safety
warnings
and
all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock,
fi
re 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
fl
ammable
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.
Unmodi
fi
ed 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
in
fl
uence
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
o
ff
position
before
connecting
to
power
source
and/or
battery
pack,
picking
up
or
carrying
the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your
fi
nger 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 key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e)
Do
not
overreach.
Keep
proper
footing
and
balance
at
all
times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f)
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.
g)
If
devices
are
provided
for
the
connection
of
dust
extraction
and
collection
facilities,
ensure
these
are
connected
and
properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust related
hazards.
4)
Power
tool
use
and
care
a)
Do
not
force
the
power
tool.
Use
the
correct
power
tool
for
your
application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do
not
use
the
power
tool
if
the
switch
does
not
turn
it
on
and
o
ff
.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect
the
plug
from
the
power
source
and/or
the
battery
pack
from
the
power
tool
before
making
any
adjustments,
changing
accessories,
or
storing
power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store
idle
power
tools
out
of
the
reach
of
children
and
do
not
allow
persons
unfamiliar
with
the
power
tool
or
these
instructions
to
operate
the
power
tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e)
Maintain
power
tools.
Check
for
misalignment
or
binding
of
moving
parts,
breakage
of
parts
and
any
other
condition
that
may
a
ff
ect
the
power
tools
ʼ
operation.
If
damaged,
have
the
power
tool
repaired
before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f)
Keep
cutting
tools
sharp
and
clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g)
Use
the
power
tool,
accessories
and
tool
bits
etc.
in
accordance
with
these
instructions,
taking
into
account
the
working
conditions
and
the
work
to
be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations di
ff
erent
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
