General Safety Rules 
WARNING!
 
Read all instructions. Failure to 
follow all instructions listed below may result in 
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power 
tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a)  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)  Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions 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. 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 power tools to rain or wet conditions. 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. Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord 
is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
e)  Do not use outdoors.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a)  Stay 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 medica-
tion. 
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, 
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce 
personal injuries.
c)  Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying 
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites 
accidents.
d)  Remove 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 injury.
e)  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of 
the power tool 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, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air 
vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
g)  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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  Do 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 designed.
b)  Do 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool 
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive 
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)  Store 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.
e)  Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 
and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the 
power tool repaired before use.
 Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
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 power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and 
in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working 
conditions and the work to be performed.
 Use of the power tool for operations different from those 
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack 
into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b)  
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.
c)  
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs 
may create a risk of injury and fire.
d)  
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 termi-
nal to another. 
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
e) 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.
6) SERVICE
a)  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement 
parts. 
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
