Safety notices m
W ARNING: When using electric tools basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and perso-
nal injury .
W ARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, 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) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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 ammable 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.
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. Unmodied 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. W ater entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un -
plugging 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 suitab -
le 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 redu-
ces 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 inuence 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. Pro-
tective 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 off-position
before connecting to power source and or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energising the power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of a 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 and coll -
ection facilities, ensure that 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
a rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the power tool from the power source and/or battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally .
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these Instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of moving parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
