SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING. Read all safety warnings
and all 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. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away whilst
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
loss of control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor 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 electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. 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
increase 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
GB
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.
Safety Instructions
4
Do not use a power tool when tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use safety 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.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the 'off' position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for dust extraction
and collection purposes, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for the application. The correct
power tool will perform better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the 'on/off' switch
does not work correctly. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled by the 'on/off' switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
