General Safety

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.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or
knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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 reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Multi-Tool Safety
General safety advice for multi-purpose hand held cordless and corded tools
including both rotating and oscillating types.
WARNING: Contact with electric or gas lines can lead to fire, electric shock and
explosions. Penetrating a water line can result in damage to property and electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area. Always be
extremely careful when making blind and pocket cuts where the exit point of the blade or
accessory at the other side of the material cannot be seen.
WARNING: Asbestos may be in materials and textured coatings in older properties and
should be treated with extreme caution. If you suspect or discover asbestos consult your
local health and safety authority immediately for advice on its removal. It may require the
services of a specialist asbestos removal company.
WARNING: If a cutting accessory makes contact with a 'live' wire, the exposed metal
parts of the power tool may become 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces at all times during use.
WARNING: DO NOT work with damp or wet materials or accessories that require liquid
coolants. Liquids entering the body of the tool is an electrical hazard as well as likely to
destroy the tool.
WARNING: The dust produced from working with some materials can be toxic. Beech,
oak, mahogany and teak natural woods, man-made composite woods and some surface
treatments including paint with lead are toxic. Lead based paint is common in buildings pre
1960. Always wear suitable respiratory protection for example a respirator face mask.
Ideally also use a dust extraction system or regularly vacuum the work area to prevent the
build-up of dust and do a final vacuum after the work is completed. Most dust is a
fire hazard. Overhead work surfaces have an increased safety risk for dust.
a) Wear protective, cut-proof gloves when changing blades and accessories.
Some blades and accessories can be very sharp. Scraper blades sharpen as they are
used. Blades and accessories shortly after use can be very hot, allow to cool.
b) Keep your workplace clean. Dusts created from different materials including woods
and metals can be highly flammable. Dust from light alloys including magnesium can
burn or explode easily.
c) DO NOT treat the work surface with fluids containing solvents. If such fluids
become warm from scraping, toxic vapours may be produced, or surfaces may catch
fire.
WARNING: NEVER fit any blade or accessory with a maximum speed lower than the no
load speed of the power tool.
d) ONLY change accessories and blades or perform maintenance with the tool
disconnected from its power supply, either mains connection or battery. If the tool
features a captive battery in a charged state take extra care not to switch it on
accidentally when changing accessories or blades.
e) ALWAYS use accessories or blades that are approved by the manufacturer or
meet the specification of your power tool, this includes being compatible in size
and speed. DO NOT try to cut material thicker than the capacity stated in the
specification.
f) ONLY use an adapter for using different accessories or blades if the adapter is
specifically designed and approved by the manufacturer of your power tool.
g) DO NOT modify accessories or blades so they work with power tools they were
not intended to work with or for uses that they were never designed for.
h) DO NOT use accessories or blades that are damaged, bent, chipped, cracked,
heavily corroded or excessively worn. Such accessories can break apart in use
causing injury to the operator. ALWAYS inspect accessories or blades before use and
discard immediately if not in good condition. NEVER use blades that are worn to a dull
edge. ALWAYS use sharp blades.
i) ALWAYS ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to the tool before
use and the securing tool is removed prior to use.
j) DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has
been disconnected from power.
k) Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the correct condition for
the fitted accessory or blade. Remove all nails, staples and other embedded
objects prior to starting work.
l) Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work.
m) ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area. Never remove your
safety goggles or glasses to improve your view instead increase the level of lighting or
move the lighting so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n) DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials. Be especially careful
when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood
dust fires.
