General Power Tool 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 instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) 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.
5) Service
a) 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.
Electric Breaker Safety
• Be aware of the effects of vibration when using this Electric Breaker. By nature of their
design Electric Breaker will produce a large amount of vibration. It is advised to wear special
vibration-reducing gloves when operating machinery that emits large amounts of vibration,
and to monitor and limit vibration exposure times
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces; if the tool comes into contact with
a live wire, the exposed metal parts of the power tool may become live
• Before beginning work, use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage and may cause electric shocks
• Always hold it firmly with both hands using both handles, and ensure you have a secure
stance on level ground
• When using this machine in cold weather or when the tool has not been used for a long time,
operate the tool under no load and wait for it to warm up and lubricate itself
• The machine housing becomes warm, and the steel bit may even become hot after extended
periods of use. Do not touch these parts to prevent burns
• Some building materials contain toxic substances. Always use adequate breathing and skin
protection when operating this machine in a dusty environment, especially if you expect toxic
substances to be present, or if you are unaware of the composition of the materials to be
worked on. Always adhere to laws and regulations when disposing of toxic substances
• Only use extension leads of a suitable type that is approved for the environment you are
working in. Conductors must be of adequate cross section, as the machine may otherwise
operate at reduced performance, and the extension lead may overheat. Check the extension
cord for damage before every use, at the same time as checking the machine’s main power cable.
Damaged extension cords MUST NOT be used and need to be replaced. Always fully unwind the
extension lead or cable reel, as it will overheat otherwise
• In some situations, you may want to power your machine off a construction site generator or
transformer. This is generally possible; however, ensure that the power rating of the power source
is at least double the power rating of this machine, and that the power supplied is of compatible
voltage/frequency (see ‘Specifications’). Ensure that the power source is equipped with automatic
voltage regulation and surge protection, as voltage peaks may result in tool damage .
