ye

ee

Read all

safety

warnings

and all

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)

Work

area

safety

a) Keep

work

area

clean

and well

lit.

C/uttered

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.

Donot

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

isan

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

therisk

of electric

shock.

e)

When

operating

a

power

tool

outdoors,

use an

extension

cord

suitable

for

outdoor

use.

Use

ofa 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.

Introduction

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.

Carryingpower

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 ora

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

too/

accidentally.

d)

Store idle

power

tools out

of

the reach

of

children

and do not

allow

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

bits

etc.

in accordance

with

these instructions,

taking

into account

the

working

conditions

and

the

work

to be

performed.
