WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic
safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.
Please read all of these instructions before
attempting to operate this machine. Save this
manual for future reference.
1) Keep work area clear. Cluttered work
areas invite accidents.
2) Consider work area environment. Do not
expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Never
use tools near flammable liquids or gases.
3) Protect yourself against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces.
4) Keep other people away. Do not let
others, especially children, come close to the
work, and touch the tool or the extension lead.
Keep them away from the work area.
5) Store idle tools. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out
of children's reach.
6) Never force the tools. Your tools will be
more efficient and safer when used at the rate
for which they were intended.

7) Use the right tool. Do not force small tools
to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use
tools for purposes not intended; for example
do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or
logs.
8) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. If you have long hair,
tie it back and wear protective hair covering.
9) Use protective equipment. Use safety
glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operations create dust.
10) Connect dust extraction equipment.
If the machines have a connection for dust
extraction equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11) Do not damage the cable. Never pull the
power cable to disconnect the machine. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12) Secure workpiece. Where possible, use
clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It's
much safer than using your hands.
13) Don't over reach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14) Maintain tools in good working
condition. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean for better performance and optimum
safety. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect power
cables regularly and, if damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Inspect extension cables regularly and replace
immediately if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease at all times.
15) Disconnect tools. Disconnect tools from
the power supply when not in use, before any
maintenance operation and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16) Remove adjusting keys and spanners.
Get into the habit of checking that adjusting
keys and spanners have been removed from
the machine before turning it on.
