Instruction & User Manual

Read all safety warnings, instructions and 
specifications provided with this power 
tool

. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious 
injury. 

Save all warnings and instructions for 

future reference.

WARNING!

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

 

m

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 

Cluttered or

 dark areas invite accidents.

 

m

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.

 

m

Keep children and bystanders away while 
operating a power tool.

 Distractions can 

cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

 

m

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.

 

m

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.

 

m

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 
conditions.

 Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

 

m

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the 
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging 
the power tool. Keep the cord away from 
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

 

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of 
electric shock.

 

m

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.

 

m

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

 

m

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.

 

m

Use personal protective equipment. 
Always wear eye protection.

 Protective 

equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety 
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for 
appropriate conditions will reduce personal 
injuries.

 

m

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.
