OUTDOOR USE
WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to
be used outdoors it should not be exposed to
rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place
the tool on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry
workbench if available. For added protection
use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will
interrupt the supply if the leakage current to
earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check
the operation of the residual current device
(R.C.D.) before using the machine.
If an extension cable is required it must be a
suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled.

POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specified in BS EN 60745-1:2009 &
EN 61029-1:2009)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 the
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.
• 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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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.
