SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING! When using electric tools, basic safety 
precautions, including the following, should always 
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock 
and personal injury. Read all these instructions 
before operating this product and save these 
instructions. 

 

For safe operations: 

1. 

Keep work area clean.

 

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. 

2. 

Consider work area environment.

 

Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use 
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work 
area well lit. Do not use power tools where there is 
risk to cause fire or explosion. 

3. 

Guard against electric shock.

 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, 
refrigerators). 

4. 

Keep children away.

 

Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord. 
All visitors should be kept away from work area. 

5. 

Store idle tools.

 

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, 
high or locked up place, out of reach of children. 

6. 

Do not force the tool.

 

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for 
which it was intended. 

7. 

Use the right tool.

 

Do not force small tools or attachments to do the 
job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for 
purposes not intended; for example, do not use 
circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs. 

8. 

Dress properly.

 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can 
be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and 
non-skid footwear are recommended when 
working outdoors. Wear protecting hair covering 

to contain long hair. 

9. 

Use safety glasses and hearing protection.

 

Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation 
is dusty. 

10. 

Connect dust extraction equipment.

 

If devices are provided for the connection of dust 
extraction and collection facilities ensure these 
are connected and properly used. 

11. 

Do not abuse the cord.

 

Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to 
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away 
from heat, oil and sharp edges. 

12. 

Secure work.

 

Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer 
than using your hand and it frees both hands to 
operate the tool. 

13. 

Do not overreach.

 

Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

14. 

Maintain tools with care.

 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and 
safer performance. Follow instructions for 
lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect tool 
cord periodically and if damaged have it repaired 
by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension 
cords periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep 
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 

15. 

Disconnect tools.

 

When not in use, before servicing and when 
changing accessories such as blades, bits and 
cutters. 

16. 

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.

 

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and 
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool 
before turning it on. 

17. 

Avoid unintentional starting.

 

Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the 
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in. 

18. 

Use outdoor extension leads.

 

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension 
cords intended for outdoor use.
