• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

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 future
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.
Cluttered 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.
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 operating a power tool in a damp location
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 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 mask, 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
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 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
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
