Battery Charger Safety

Use the battery charger correctly

• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger

before attempting to charge the battery.

• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those

supplied. Keep your battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may
cause a short or block air vents. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause overheating or fire

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,

its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard

WARNING: Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries

Torch Safety

When the torch is switched on, the following must be observed:
• Do not look directly into the lens
• Do not shine into a person's eyes or an animal's eyes
• Do not point the beam at: cars, motorcycles, aircraft, ships or any other

vehicle or machinery that is operated by a person. Bright light can be
blinding and you could cause a serious accident

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

NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by
the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

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. Carrying power 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 or a 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,
