Safety instructions
When not being used electrical power
tools should be stored in dry conditions
in a high or enclosed place, out of
reach of children.
6. Do not overload your electrical
power tool.
By keeping within the specified
working range of the tool you will work
more safely and achieve a better
result.
7. Use the right electrical power tool
for the task.
Do not use low-output devices for
heavy tasks. Do not use an electrical
power tool for purposes for which it
was not intended. For example, do not
use a hand operated circular saw for
trimming tree branches or cutting logs.
8. Wear suitable clothing.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or
jewellery. They could become caught
on moving parts. We recommend
that you wear anti-slip footwear when
working outdoors. If you have long
hair, wear a hair net.
9. Use personal protective equipment.
Wear protective glasses. Wear a dust
mask if your work generates dust.
10. Attaching the vacuum dust
extraction device.
Where there are connection points
provided for vacuum dust extraction
please ensure that the connections are
made and used properly.
11. Do not use the mains lead for
purposes for which it was not
intended.
Do not use the mains lead to pull the
plug out of the mains socket. Protect
the mains lead from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12. Securely support the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to grip the
workpiece firmly. This is much safer
than holding it with your hand.

13. Avoid placing your body in an
unnatural position.
Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
14. Look after your tools carefully.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
This way you will work more safely
and achieve better results. Follow
the advice on tool lubrication and
consumables replacement. Check the
condition of the mains lead on your
electrical power tool regularly and have
any damage repaired by a competent
specialist. Check the condition of
extension leads regularly and replace
them if they are damaged. Keep
handles and hand grips clean, dry and
free of oil and grease.
15. Pull the mains plug out of the mains
socket.
Do this if the electrical power tool is
not being used, before carrying out
maintenance tasks on the electrical
power tool and whenever you are
changing inserted tools, e.g. saw
blades, drills or router bits.
16. Make sure that no spanners, keys
etc. are left attached.
Check before switching on that all
spanners, keys and setting tools have
been removed.
17. Avoid unintentionally starting up
the device.
Check that the switch is set to OFF
on the device when the mains plug is
inserted into the mains socket.
18. Using an extension lead for working
outdoors.
When working outside, always use an
approved and appropriately labelled
extension lead.
19. Remain alert.
Watch what you are doing. Proceed
with caution. Do not use electrical
power tools if you cannot concentrate.
