Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place! General 1 Keep work area clean Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents. 2 Consider work area environment Do not expose Power Tools to humidity. Keep work area well lit. Do not use Power Tools in the presence of inflammable liquids or gases. 3 Guard against electric shock Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). For use under extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced, etc.) electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-breaker. 4 Keep children away Do not let children come into contact with the tool or extension cord. Supervision is required for those under 16 years of age. 5 Extension cords for outdoor use When the tool is used outdoors, always use extension cords intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly. 6 Store idle tools When not in use, Power Tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach of children. 7 Dress properly Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
