WARNING.
Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION. Never carry out any assembly operations or
