PERSONAL SAFETY

•     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 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.

•     Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

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 be caught in moving parts.

•     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.

•     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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

•     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.

•     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 remove the battery pack, 

if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools. 

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 

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 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 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 and 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.

•     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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

•    Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. 

A charger that 

is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery pack.

•     Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. 

Use of any 

other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

•     When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like 

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can 
make a connection from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals 

together may cause burns or a fire.

•     Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid 

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts 
eyes, additionally seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.

•     Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.

 Damaged or 

modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion 

or risk of injury.

•     Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. 

Exposure 

to fire or temperature above 130 °C (266°F) may cause explosion.

•     Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or
