GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! 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.
23 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorised parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
