Introduction
General
safety
instructions
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

Introduction
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.

tool
by
insulated
gripping
surfaces,
when
performing
an
operation
where
the
cutting
accessory may
contact
