GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
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 power tools.
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.
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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection and protective mask
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing 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 personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
