1 - Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 - Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 - Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 - Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in
the work touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area
5 - Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place,
out of reach of children
6 - Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended
7 - Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws to
cut tree limbs or logs
8 - Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 - Use protective equipment
- Use safety glasses
- Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause personal
injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10 - Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly
used
11 - Do not abuse the power cable - Never yank the power cable to disconnect it from
the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or
entangled power cables increase the risk of electric shock
12 - Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand
13 - Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 - Maintain tools with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less likely to
bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an
authorized service facility
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 - Disconnect tools - When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in a risk of injury to persons.
16 - Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on
17 - Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off' position when connecting to
a mains socket or inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 - Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use of an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
19 - Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you
are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
20 - Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function
- Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it on and off. The switch
must be repaired before the tool is used.
21 - Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with
the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons,
otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre.
22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is
ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
Additional Safety for Bench or
Stationary Drills
For safety relating to protective clothing/equipment and general health hazards relating to
power tools; refer to General and Electrical Safety sections in this manual
• Important: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning installation,
operation and maintenance
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that
operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions
• When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield, ear
defenders, and protective clothing. Wear a dust mask if the drilling operation creates
dust. Do not wear gloves due to the danger of loose threads dragging a hand in to the
drill mechanism
• Extension cable reels used with this tool must be completely unwound. Minimum
conductor cross section: 1.0mm2
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate
• Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be ejected
from the machine causing a hazard
• Ensure that the drill bit is not in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up the tool
• Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under the
workpiece
• Do not put pressure on the tool, to do so would shorten its service life
• If required use coolant or cutting fluid to protect the drill bit and workpiece from
excessive heat
• Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling them
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off
before looking up
• Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work
• Always disconnect the drill from the electric supply before changing a bit
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts repaired
by a qualified service centre
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the power source and remove bit
from the machine
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary
