General Safety Warnings
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
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 ‘power tool’ in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the socket.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
4
not use any adaptor plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
• When operating 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.
• If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD with a tripping
current of 30mA or less) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

Personal safety
• 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 medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE). 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 injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to the power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
6
unexpected situations.
• 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.
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
7
untrained users.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, 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 power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
- 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.
Battery safety warnings
WARNING! This power tool is not
intended for use by persons (including
8
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the
power tool by a person responsible for
their safety.
WARNING! Children must be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
power tool.
• Before charging the battery, read all the
instructions carefully.
• After charging, disconnect the battery
charger from the mains supply. Remove the
chassis connection and then the battery
connection.
• Do not charge a leaking battery.
• Do not use chargers for works other than
those for which they are designed and
intended.
• Before charging, ensure your charger
matches the local AC supply.
• For indoor use. DO NOT expose to rain. The
charging device must be protected from
moisture.
• Do not use the charging device in the open.
• Do not short out the contacts of the battery
9
or charger.
• Respect the polarity (+/-) when charging.
• Do not open the unit, and keep out of the
reach of children.
• Do not charge the batteries of other
manufacturers or ill-suited models.
• Ensure that the connection between the
battery charger and battery is correctly
positioned, and is not obstructed by foreign
bodies.
• Keep the battery chargers slots free of
foreign objects and protect it from dirt and
humidity. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
• When charging batteries, ensure that
the battery charger is in a well-ventilated
area and away from flammable materials.
Batteries can get hot during charging.
Do not overcharge any batteries. Ensure
that batteries and chargers are not left
unsupervised during charging.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries, as they can
overheat and break.
• Longer life and better performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 18°C
and 24°C. Do not charge the battery pack in
air temperatures below 0°C or above 45°C.
This is important as it can prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
• Only charge a battery pack of the same
10
model provided by the manufacturer or
different models recommended by them.
Safety warnings for battery packs
• Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery packs.
• Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short circuit each
other, or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When the 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.
• Do not expose the battery pack to heat or
fire. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
• Do not subject the battery pack to
mechanical shock.
• In the event of battery leakage, do not allow
the liquid to come into contact with the skin
or eyes. If contact has been made, wash
the affected area with copious amounts of
water and seek medical advice.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
• Keep the battery pack clean and dry.
• Wipe the battery pack terminals with a
