GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
1 Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2 Do not operate tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4 A battery operated tool with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may
be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire or electric shock when used with
another battery.
5 Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal safety
6 Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
tool. Do not use while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.
7 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
8 Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switch
is in the off position before plugging in or
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or energising tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
9 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
10 Do not overreach. Stand on both feet an
keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
11 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
12 If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
Tool use and care
13 Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
14 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool
for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
15 Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
16 Disconnect battery pack from tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
17 Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
18 When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like: paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
19 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
20 Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
21 Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Service
22 Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
