1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
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.
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 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
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 finger
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.

g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities, en
these are connected and properly used. Use o
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct p
tool for your application. The correct power too
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does n
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source a
the battery pack from the power tool before m
any adjustments, changing accessories, or st
power tools. Such preventive safety measures r
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
tool or these instructions to operate the powe
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrai
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts an
other condition that may affect the power tool
operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired befo
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maint
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
accordance with these instructions, taking int
account the working conditions and the work
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by t
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically design
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs m
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, ke
nails, screws or other small metal objects, tha
make a connection from one terminal to anot
Shorting the battery terminals together may caus
burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject
from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with wate
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medic
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified r
person using only identical replacement parts
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
