General Safety Rules

WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, and personal injury, including the following:

Read all instructions.

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

power tool.

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.

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.

E. 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) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools 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 tool. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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 these devices can

reduce dust-related hazards.

H. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.

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. Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use, appliances

should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place,

out of the reach of children.

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
