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.

Work Area Safety

Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. do not use

any adapter plugs with earth (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 grounded.

do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water 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 heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GfCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what your are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious injury.

use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust masks, 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 energizing 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, clothing and

gloves 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.
