Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
· Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
· Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
· Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
· 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. Unmod-
ified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
· Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
· Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
· Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
· 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.
· When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
18

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
· 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.
Personal safety
· 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.
· Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
· 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.
· 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.
· Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
· Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
· 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.
Power tool use and care
· 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.
· 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.
· 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 re-
