OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Warning! The battery is normally sealed but in
event of the battery being damaged be aware that
it contains acid, if you get any on your skin or in your eyes wash
the affected parts with water immediately and seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
Warning! Do not short circuit the battery it will
cause it to overheat, catch fire or even explode. To
avoid this happening: Do not connect wires to the terminals of
the battery. Do not expose the battery or drill to water, rain or
damp atmospheres. Ensure that no metal objects (coins, nails
etc) are caught in the battery housing or battery socket in the
drill. Do not throw or dispose of the battery into water or fire.
Concentrate
Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember
that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious
injuries in a split second.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
Consider the work environment
Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids,
vapours or gases.
Guard against electric shock
This unit and its charger contain dangerous voltages. Use
a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection
against electrical shock. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrige-
rators)
Keep children and pets away
Do not let children or pets come into contact with the
tool, extension cable or work area.
Do not force the tool
It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended,
Use the right tool
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which
they were not intended; for example do not use a circular
saw for cutting trees or logs.
Do not abuse cable
Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect
it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins
when connecting or removing the plug.
Secure Work
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It is safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
Do not over-reach
Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.
Disconnect tools from power supply
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
Always remove the battery and set the direction
switch to lock position. Always switch off and
unplug from the power supply before making adjustments or
inserting batteries into charger unit. Remove adjusting keys
and wrenches. Ensure that they are removed from the tool
before switching on.
Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry plugged in tools with your finger on the
switch. Check that the switch is off before plugging in to
socket.
Extension cables
Use only three core earthed extension cables suitable
for the power input of the tool (minimum cable size
1.5mm2). Plug into an earthed socket only.
When using a cable reel unwind it fully. Do not use long
extension cables.
Outdoors use
If the tool is suitable to be used outdoors, only use an
extension cable intended for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Use a RCD (residual current device) to pro-
vide protection against electrical shock. Do not use in
rain or damp conditions.
Connect a dust extraction device
Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust of fume
extraction system, make sure it is connected and used.
Use recommended accessories
The use of any other accessory or attachment other than
recommended in the instructions or catalogue may pre-
sent a risk of personal injury.

stos. If asbestos is present, cease operations and contact your
local council for advice.

table for use with your mains supply.
