This unit may not be used by people
(including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capacities,
with a lack of experience and without
the appropriate knowledge, unless they
are supervised by someone who is
responsible for their safety or have been
instructed by such a person with regard
to how the unit is to be operated.
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
device.
1 Work area
a
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and 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 it is not possible to avoid using
the electrical tool in a damp
environment, use a residual current
circuit-breaker.
The use of a residual
current circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electrical 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 masks, 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
