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
Work area
1Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire or electric shock when used with another battery.
5Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal safety
6Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating tools may result in serious personal injury.
7Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
8Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the off position before plugging in or inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or energising tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
9Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
10Do not overreach. Stand on both feet an keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
11Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
12 If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
Tool use and care
13 Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
14 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
15 Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
16 Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
17 Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
18 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
19 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
20 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
21 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
22 Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
23 When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
