IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

W A R N I N G
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet cinditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while 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 protection 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. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facillities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
