2) Electrical safety

a) 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.

Unmodiﬁ ed 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 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 inﬂ uence of drugs,

alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b) 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.

c) 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 ﬁ nger on the switch or energising 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 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.

English

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools.

Such preventive 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.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may aﬀ ect the power toolʼs

operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and

are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diﬀ erent from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when

used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can

make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,

additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
