GENERAL PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fi re 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) product or
battery-operated (cordless) product.
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, 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
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
■
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators,
ranges
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.

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 mask, 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 off-position 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 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
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection
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 was designed.
■
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does 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 and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments,
changing
and
collection
accessories,
