Read and understand the owner's manual and labels
affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
2.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floors must
not be slippery due to oil or sawdust.
3.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit. Provide
adequate space surrounding the work area. Do not use in
environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere.

wristwatches) to catch in moving parts. NONSLIP footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
7.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES (Head Protection)
Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times. Normal
spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are
NOT safety glasses. Also, use face or dust mask if
application is dusty and ear protectors (plugs or muffs)
during extended periods of operation.
8.
NOISE LEVELS
Some types of machines may have high noise levels when
working. In such cases ear protection must be worn.

VIBRATION LEVELS
Hand held power tools produce different vibration levels.
You should always refer to the specifications and relevant
Health and Safety guide.
10.
DUST EXTRACTION
If your tool is fitted with a dust extraction fitting, always
ensure that it is connected and being used with a dust
extractor. Vacuum cleaners can be used if suitable for the
material being extracted.
11.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
When working with power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and
refrigerators, etc.). If you are using a power tool in
extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity or generating
metal dust), always use an RCD (residual current device)
at the power socket.
12.
STAY ALERT
Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
13.
WHEN WORKING OUT OF DOORS

cable, the machine should not be positioned so that
access to the mains socket is restricted.
15.
DISCONNECT POWER TO THE TOOL
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as cutters, etc.

the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.

cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store
materials above or near the tool, so that it is necessary to
stand on the tool to reach them.
