GENERAL PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS

 WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, 

illustrations and specifications provided with this 

power tool. 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below 

may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruction for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) product or battery-operated (cordless) 

product.

WORK AREA SAFETY

 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or dark 

areas invite accidents.

 

Do not operate power tools in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

 Power tools create sparks 

which 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

 

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 

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 tool in a damp location is 

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) 

protected supply. 

Use of an RCD 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 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 a 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. 

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 and clothing 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 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.
