switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch in 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 a 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 situa-
tions.
▶ 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 get 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 these devices can reduce dust- related hazards.
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 is 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 the switch is dange-
rous and must be repaired.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chan-
ging accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting power tools accidentally.
▶ Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to ope-
rate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
▶ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintai-
ned power tools.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and easier to
control.
▶ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particu-
lar type of power tool, 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.
GERNERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Work area safety
▶ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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 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 ente-
ring the 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 redu-
ces 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 redu-
ces 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 perso-
nal injury.
▶ Use safety 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
▶ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fingers on the
