General safety instructions
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the

this Manual. All persons who use and service the machine have to be
acquainted with this Manual and must be informed about its potential
hazards. Children and infirm people must not use this tool. Children
should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in which the
tool is being used. It is also imperative that you observe the accident
prevention regulations in force in your area. The same applies for
general rules of occupational health and safety.
Warning. When using power tools, basic safety precautions should
always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Also, please read and heed the advice given in the additional
important safety instructions.
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas and
benches invite accidents and injury.
2. Consider the environment in which you are working. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well lit.
Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors and onlookers,
especially children and infirm persons, should be kept well away from
where you are working. Do not let others in the vicinity make contact
with the tool or extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be locked up out
of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and safer
working at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier duty tool.
Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. If you have long hair,
wear a protective hair covering.
8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs should
always be worn. A face or dust mask is also required if the
drilling operation creates dust.
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work
piece. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands
to operate the tool.
11. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and balanced at
all times.
12. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for better
and safer performance. Follow the instructions regarding
lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect tool cords periodically
and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorised service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace them
if damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and disconnect
the plug from the power point before servicing, when changing
accessories and when the tool is not in use.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
switching on.
15. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the switch
is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool to the power
supply. Do not carry a plugged in tool with your finger on the
switch.
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use and are so marked.
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate a power tool when you are tired.
18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check that there
are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly damaged, carefully
determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other conditions
that may affect the operation of the tool. A part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
facility, unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised service
facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn the tool on
and off correctly.
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with
grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerator enclosures.
20. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use an authorised service facility to fit
replacement parts.
Warning. The use of an accessory or attachment, other than those
recommended in this Instruction Manual, may present a risk of
personal injury.
