completely safety rules, etc. contained in this
manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents
involving fire, electric shock or serious personal

The operation of any tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields and a full face shield when needed.
We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over

WORK AREA
■
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 electric 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 entering a 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 reduces 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 personal injury.
■
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection be used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
■
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or to plug in power tools that
have the switch to ON position can cause 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 the 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 situations.
■
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 be 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.
