ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This machine is fitted with the correct
moulded plug and mains lead for the
designated market. If the mains lead or
the plug are damaged in any way, they
must be replaced with original replacement
parts by a competent technician.
OUTDOOR USE
WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to
be used outdoors it should not be exposed to
rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place
the tool on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry
workbench if available. For added protection
use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will
interrupt the supply if the leakage current to
earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check
the operation of the residual current device
(R.C.D.) before using the machine.
If an extension cable is required it must be a
suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled.
The manufacturers instructions should be
followed when using an extension cable.
POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specified in EN 62841-1:2015,
EN 62841-2-11:2016)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
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 reference. The term "power tool"
in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) General Power Tool Safety
Warnings [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, gasses or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) General Power Tool Safety
Warnings [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 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 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) General Power Tool Safety
Warnings [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
