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 personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the offposition
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.
• 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
