The attention of UK users is drawn to The Provision
and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, and
any subsequent amendments.
Users must be competent with power tools before
using our products.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Residual Risk. Although the safety instructions and
operating manuals for our tools contain extensive
instructions on safe working with power tools, every
power tool involves a certain residual risk which
cannot be completely excluded by safety
mechanisms. Power tools must therefore, always be
operated with caution!
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in 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 energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect power tool and attachment from
power supply when not in use, before servicing,
when making adjustments and when changing
accessories. Ensure switch is in “off” position.
Always ensure power tool has ceased moving.
3. Always mount the power tool, accessory or
attachment in conformity with the instructions.
Only use attachment and accessories specified
in the power tool manual. The tool or attachment
should not be modified or used for any
application other than that for which it was
designed. Do not force tool.
4. Keep children and visitors away. Do not let
children or visitors touch the tool, accessory or
attachment. Keep children and visitors away
from work area. Make the workshop child proof
with padlock and master switch.
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts.
Working gloves and non-skid footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
6. Consider working environment. Do not use the
product in the rain or in a damp environment.
Keep work area well lit. Do not use power tools
near gasoline or flammable liquids.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes. Keep workshop at a comfortable
temperature so your hands are not cold. Connect
machines that are used in the open via a residual
current device (RCD) with an actuation current of
30 mA maximum. Use only extension cables that
are approved for outdoor use.
7. The accessory or attachment must be kept level
and stable at all times.
8. Keep work area clean. Cluttered workshops and
benches can cause injuries. Ensure there is
sufficient room to work safely.
9. Secure idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry and high or locked up place, out of
reach of children.
10. For best control and safety use both hands on the
power tool and attachments. Keep both hands
away from work area. Always wait for the power
tool to stop working before making any
adjustments.
11. Always keep guards in place and in good working
order.
12. Remove any nails, staples and other metal parts
from the workpiece.
13. Maintain power tool with care. Keep power tool
clean for better and safer performance. Do not use
damaged power tools. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
14. Maintain accessories. Do not use damaged
accessories. Only use accessories recommended
by the manufacturer.
15. Check damaged parts. Before operation inspect
the attachment, the power tool, the cable,
extension cable and the plug carefully for signs of
damage. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other
conditions that may effect its operation. Protect
tools from impact and shock.
16. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Have defective switches replaced by an
Authorised Service Agent.
17. Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not use awkward or uncomfortable
hand positions.
18. Don’t abuse the cable. Never carry power tool or
accessory by cord or pull it to disconnect from the
socket. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Always trail the power cord away from the work
area.
19. Do not allow the hot parts of the fire lighter to
touch the cord or other flammable materials.

19. Connect dust extraction equipment. If devices
are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
20. Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts and
screws on power tool, attachment and cutting
tools before use to ensure they are tight and
secure. Periodically check when machining over
long periods.
21. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate tools when you
are tired, under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
22. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for eye,
ear and respiratory protection must be worn. All
PPE must meet current UK and EU legislation.
23. Do not leave tools running unattended. Do not
leave the power tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
24. Always clamp workpiece securely.
25. Vibration levels. Hand held power tools produce
different vibration levels. You should always
refer to the specifications and relevant Health &
Safety Guide.
WORKING SAFETY
1. Read and understand instructions supplied with
power tool, attachment and accessories.
2. Keep hands, hair and clothing clear of the power
tool.
3. Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Check to
see that keys and adjusting spanners are
removed before turning power tool on. Make
sure power tool can operate freely.
4. Noise. Take appropriate measures for the
protection of hearing if the sound pressure of
85dB(A) is exceeded. Routing sound pressure
may exceed 85dB(A), so ear protection must be
worn.
5. Eye protection. Always wear eye protection in
the form of safety goggles, spectacles or visors
to protect the eyes.
6. Respiratory protection. Always wear a face or
dust mask, or powered respirator. Dust masks/
filters should be changed regularly.
7. Do not switch on with the power tool touching
the workpiece. When finished, release the switch
and allow to stop moving. Never use the power
tool as a brake.
8. Check before working that there are no
obstructions in the path of the power tool.
Ensure there are no obstacles beneath workpiece,
and that a sacrificial work surface is used.
9. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because if the power tool comes into contact
with its own cord, cutting the “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.
10. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
1. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn on or off. Any power tool that can not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
2. Power tools are dangerous. Care should be
taken when handling them. Do not drop or knock
them against hard objects. Handle with extra
care. Always return power tool to its packaging
after use.
3. Always use accessories with a shank diameter
corresponding to the size of the chuck installed
in your tool.
4. The maximum speed (n.max) marked on the
tool, or in instructions or on packaging shall not
be exceeded. Where stated the speed range
shall be adhered to.
5. Never use accessories with a diameter
exceeding the maximum diameter indicated in
the technical data of the power tool or
attachment used.
6. Before each use check that the power tool is
clean and free from damage. Do not use the
power tool if it is dull, broken or cracked or if in
any other damage is noticeable or suspected.
7. Power tools should be kept clean. Dirt build up
should be removed at regular intervals.
8. Drill bit shanks should be inserted into the chuck
all the way to the line indicated on the shank.
This ensures that at least 3⁄4 of the shank length
is held in the chuck. Ensure clamping surfaces
are cleaned to remove dirt, grease, oil and water.
9. Bits and accessories shall be clamped in such a
way that they will not become loose during
operation.
10. It is advisable to periodically check the chuck.
A damaged, worn or distorted chuck can cause
vibration and shank damage.
Do not over-tighten the chuck.
11. In case of excessive vibrations whilst using the
power tool, stop immediately and have the
power tool checked by competent personnel.
12. All fastening screws and nuts should be
tightened using the appropriate spanner or key
and to the torque value provided by the
manufacturer.
13. Extension of the spanner or tightening using
hammer blows shall not be permitted.
14. Do not touch the power tool immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
