(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

■ 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

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
y be
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
ons,
■ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
over
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
ning
■ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of
eep
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
002
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.
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a 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. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
■ 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.
■ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■ 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.
■ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
■ 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.
■ Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
■ 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.
