Instruction & User Manual
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.
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 adaptor plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
m
Avoid body contact with earthed
(grounded) surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed (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
Be alert 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 loss of concentration
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-slip
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.
