GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING. Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions my result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save these instructions for future use.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
GB
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 loss
of control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING. The rating plate on your tool may show
symbols. These represent important information about
the product or instructions on its use.
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 the 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 abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use and a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply to reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Do not use power tools 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. Always use safety equipment: wearing eye
protection, dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat
and hearing protection used in 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 connecting to power
with the switch on the 'On' position 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 over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f. Wear suitable clothing and footwear. Do not wear
loose clothing, neckties, jewellery, or other items which
may become caught. Wear non-slip footwear or where
appropriate, footwear with protective toe caps. Long
hair should be covered or tied back.
g. If devices are provided for the collection of dust
particles, 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. Using the correct power
tool for your application will be safer and produce better
results at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the 'On/Off' switch is
not working correctly. Power tools that cannot be
controlled by the switch are dangerous and must be
repaired prior to use.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
