• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• If operating a power tools in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

• 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.
• 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.
• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure that the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source 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.

away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control;
• Use the power tool, accessories, 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
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
