Where there is a risk of a heavy object injuring your feet, or of slipping on wet or slippery
floors, suitable non-slip safety footwear should be worn.

Where there is a risk of falling objects, or of hitting your head on protruding or low-level
obstructions, a hard hat should be worn.

Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from the mains supply socket. Never
carry your power tool by its power cord. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, solvents
and sharp edges. If the power cord becomes damaged, have it replaced by an authorised
service facility.

Do not over-reach, keep proper footing and maintain your balance at all times.
• Maintain Tools with Care
Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

authorised service facility. Inspect any extension cords periodically, and if they are
damaged replace them. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked
ventilation slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.

Ensure that power tools are disconnected from the mains supply when not in use, before
servicing, lubricating or making adjustments and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters.
• Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches
