Important safety information
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, please consult your doctor before using this product.
When used in close proximity to a pacemaker, electrical equipment may affect the function of the pacemaker or
cause it to stop working.
Certain types of dust created during sanding, sawing, drilling and other similar work contain chemicals that have
been shown to be carcinogenic, harmful to fetus or cause fertility problems.
Examples of such chemicals are:
-
Lead from lead-based paint.
-
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated wood.
The risk of exposure to these will vary depending on how often you perform this type of work. To minimize
exposure to these chemicals: keep the work area well ventilated. Use approved safety equipment, e.g. dust masks
which are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
You may come into contact with lead when handling the power cord on mains-powered products. Lead has been
shown to be carcinogenic, harmful to foetus and causes fertility problems. Wash your hands after handling.
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Untidy workbenches and dark spaces increase the risk of accidents and
injuries.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using the tool. You can easily lose control of the tool if you
are distracted.
Electrical safety
Battery-powered tools with built-in batteries or a separate battery pack may only be recharged with the specified
battery charger. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery can pose a fire risk if used with another battery.
Only use battery-powered tools with the battery pack intended for them. Use of other batteries may pose a fire risk.
Personal safety
Pay attention to what you are doing. Remember to use all necessary safety precautions and common sense when
working with power tools. Never use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Protect long hair. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the locked or OFF position before the battery pack is
inserted. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or inserting a battery pack with the switch on
involves a risk of injury.
Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools before the tool is turned on. Spanners, keys or similar
that are left in a rotating part of the power tool can cause personal injury.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better control over
the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Depending on the type of power tool and how it is used, safety
equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, protective helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of
personal injury.
