Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
Q
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
Q
spheres, 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
Q
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
Q
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
Q
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
Q
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
Q
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
Q
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool on a damp location
Q
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
Q
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 med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
Q
tection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hand hat, or hearing
protection used whenever conditions require will
reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting.Ensure the switch is
Q
in the off position before plugging in.Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
Q
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
Q
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
Q
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
Q
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
Q
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate of which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
Q
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
Q
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tool out of the reach of chil-
Q
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool of these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
Q
or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts
and other condition 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
Q
maintained cutting tools with cutting edges are
less likely to stick and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
Q
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
Service

Q
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
