The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning tool operation, always
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full-face shield when
needed. We recommend the use of a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over glasses or
standard glasses with side shields. Always wear eye protection which conforms to
ANSI Z87.1. To prevent the risk of injury, you must also wear non-slip safety shoes,
hardhat, earmuffs and dust mask when required.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery when operating the tool as they could become
caught in the moving parts. If you have long hair tie it back above shoulder height.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the On / Off switch is in the off-position before
inserting the battery. Carrying the machine with your finger on the switch or inserting
the battery in the machine that has the switch on invites accidents.
To maintain full control of the tool, keep a proper footing at all times with your weight
evenly balanced over both feet and never overreach.
To maintain full control keep the handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool to do jobs for which it was not intended. 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 power switch is faulty. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
To prevent the risk of accidentally starting the tool, remove battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. When not in use store the
tool out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool (or
these instructions) to operate it.
To prevent the risk of accidents, periodically check the tool for misalignment, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the operation
of the power tool.
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions, and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for jobs for which it was not intended could result in injury.
To ensure that the power tool is safe, have it serviced at your authorized service agent
using only identical replacement parts.
