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

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric

shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.

3) 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools

with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
