Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or senous 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.
Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered ot dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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 tames

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Deist Jactations can cause you to lose control Electrical safety

4. 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.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shoe + your boy is eathe or grounded

6. Do nol expose power tools lo rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electnic shock

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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

10. Use of power supply via a RCO with a rated residual current of 30mA or less is always recommended. Personal safety

11. 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.

12. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes hard hat, ot hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

13. 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

14. 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

15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Ihis enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

16. 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 pants

17. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these ate connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
    Power tool use and care

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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

21. 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.

22. 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 loll repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting e0ges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

24. 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 ol the power tool for operations different torr those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service

25. 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.

26. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.

27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
