uWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-

able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

uIf operating a power tool in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-

ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety

uStay 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 inatten-

tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

uUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-

juries.

uPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before connecting to power source

and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

uRemove 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 in-

jury.

uDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

uDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

uIf devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

uDo not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

allow you to become complacent and ignore tool

safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-

jury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

uDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-

signed.

uDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

uDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-

move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

uStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

uMaintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

uUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

uKeep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

uRecharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-

tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

uUse power tools only with specifically designated bat-

tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

uWhen 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 burns

or a fire.

uUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-

tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-

tery may cause irritation or burns.

uDo not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk

of injury.

uDo not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-

ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above

130°C may cause explosion.

uFollow all charging instructions and do not charge the

battery pack or tool outside the temperature range

specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specified range may damage

the battery and increase the risk of fire.
