4. 

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.

5. 

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.

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.

7. 

Power tools can produce electromagnetic 

fields (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.

 

However, users of pacemakers and other similar 
medical devices should contact the maker of their 
device and/or doctor for advice before operating 
this power tool.

Personal safety

1. 

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 med

-

ication.

 A moment of inattention while operating 

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. 

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.

3. 

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.

4. 

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.

5. 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times.

 This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away 
from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewellery or 

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. 

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.

8. 

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 
of tools allow you to become complacent and 
ignore tool safety principles.

 A careless action 

can cause severe injury within a fraction of a 

second.

9. 

Always wear protective goggles to protect 
your eyes from injury when using power tools. 
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in 
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New 
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face 
shield to protect your face, too.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce 
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.

Power tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

Do not use the power tool if the switch does 

not turn it on and off.

 Any power tool that cannot 

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and 
must be repaired.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power 
tools.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce 

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.

5. 

Maintain power tools and accessories. Check 
for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condition that 

may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam

-

aged, have the power tool repaired before use.

 

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained 
power tools.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and 
the work to be performed.

 Use of the power tool 

for operations different from those intended could 

result in a hazardous situation.

8. 

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 
clean and free from oil and grease.

 Slippery 

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for 
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected 
situations.

9. 

When using the tool, do not wear cloth work 
gloves which may be entangled.

 The entangle-

ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may 

result in personal injury.
