Safety Instructions
WARNING Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture 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.
Clut-
tered 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.
Distrac-
tions 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, ra-
diators, 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 out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp lo-
cation 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 influ-
ence 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 protec-
tion 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 bat-
tery 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 per-
sonal injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing 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 connec-
tion 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 fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples.
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 bet-
ter 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 the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Keep power tools that are not in use out-
side the reach of children
. Do not allow
persons handle power tools that are not
familiar with power tools or the relevant
instructions.
Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition 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 oper-
ations 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 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b)
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c)
When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tions or burns.
e)
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified.
Damaged or modi-
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f)
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g)
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified
in the instructions.
Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
