GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS.
WARNING:
Read all of the safety precautions and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Keep all of the warning information and instructions safe for future reference. The term "power tool" which is
used in the warnings refers to the battery-operated (cordless) tool.

1. SAFETY at the WORKPLACE

Keep your work area clean and well ventilated. Cluttered working environments and poorly illuminated areas can result
in accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep unauthorised personnel away from the work area. Distractions can result in losing control of the device.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The device possesses a voltage range which can pose an electrical hazard to humans and animals.
It should only be unscrewed and / or disassembled by authorised personnel. Similarly, maintenance and repair work
should only be conducted by electrical specialists and authorised service centres. The buyer / user operates the device
at their own risk and under their own responsibility.
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 risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Don't abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edge, 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 out-
door 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. PERSONAL SAFETY

When operating a power tool stay alert and concentrate on what you are doing. Do not use the tool if you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A lapse in concentration while operating a power tool may result
in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
