WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instrucons, illustraons and
specicaons provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instrucons listed below
may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instrucons for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
baery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operang a power tool. Distracons 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. Unmodi 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 condions. 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 operang 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.
f) If operang a power tool in adamp locaon is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The term “residual current device (RCD)”can be replaced by the term “ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)”or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operang a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are red or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medicaon. A moment of inaenon while operang power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protecve equipment. Always wear eye protecon. Protecve
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protecon used for
appropriate condions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintenonal starng. Ensure the switch is in the o-posion before
connecng to power source and/or baery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
