•  Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches 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.

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

This enables better control of 

the power tool in unexpected situations.

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 

away from moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.

•  If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, 

verify these are connected and properly used. 

The use of these devices can reduce dust-

related hazards.

use and care of power tools

•  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 

The correct 

power tool will do the job better and more safely when used at the rate at which it was designed to 
work.

•  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.

•  Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or disconnect the battery pack from the 

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power 
tool. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 

•  Store idle power tools out of the reach of children, and do not allow persons who are 

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. 

Power tools 

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

•  Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, 

and any 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.

•  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

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

. Using the power 

tool for operations different from those for which it is intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

•  Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical 

replacement parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

work area safety

•  Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

•  Do not operate power tools in an explosive environment, such as in the presence of 

flammable liquids, gases or dust. 

Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.

•  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 

Distractions can cause 

you to lose control.

electrical safety

•  The plug on the power tool must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do 

not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. 

Unmodified plugs and matching 

outlets will reduce the 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 that is suitable for outdoor 

use. 

The use of a cord that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

•  If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply that is 

protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. 

The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

•  Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power 

tool. Do not use a tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. 

A moment of inattention while operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

•  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Protective equipment 

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

•  Prevent unintentional starting. Verify that the switch is in the off position before 

connecting to the power source and/or battery pack, and before picking up or carrying 
the tool. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or connecting a power tool that has the 

switch on invites accidents.
