SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a powered tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a powered
tool. Do not use a powered tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating a
powered tool 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 when not operating the tool and
make use of other safety features which prevent
unintentional starting
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the powered tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in
loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling and reduced
ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic
condition. If necessary limit the length of time exposed
to vibration. Use the figures provided in the specification
relating to vibration if provided to calculate the duration
and frequency of operating the tool. The 2002/44/EC
directive relating to vibration in the workplace may provide
useful information even for domestic use of tools. In the
first instance of feeling uncomfortable due to vibration
STOP using the tool immediately.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound
level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if
necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable even with
ear protection stop using the tool immediately and check
the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the right
level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced
by your tool.
3) Tool use and care
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
c) Use the tool’s accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
