WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure
if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately and
check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of
sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling and
reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of
time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal
comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification
relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to EN60745 or similar international
standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.
europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic
users who use tools for long periods of time.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
f)
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 operatinga 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.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be
sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with
a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the
tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
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.
