General safety warnings
General machine safety warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this machine. 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. The term "machine"
in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) machine or battery operat-
ed (cordless) machine.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
Unmodified 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 machines to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a machine 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 operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machines 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
before connecting to power source and /or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch
or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machines may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you
to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Machine use and care
a) Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your applica-
tion. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and /or the battery pack
from the machine before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the machine accidentally.
d) Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate
the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain machines. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the machine, 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 machine for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep 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 machine in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use machine only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
