b. Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control of the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
er 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.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d. 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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e. 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.
f. 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. Personal safety
a. 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 med-
ication. A moment of carelessness when using
power tools can result in serious injuries.
b. Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways safety goggles. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety
helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or rechargeable battery,
picking up or carrying the power tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or ener-
gising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
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.
e. Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth-
ing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of power tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore power tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing tool attachments, or storing
power tools. Such precautionary measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
