WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAve All WARNINGS ANd INStRuctIoNS foR futuRe RefeReNce
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cord-
ed) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) 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.
2) 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.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GfcI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
3) 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, nonskid 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 bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
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 dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4)
PoWeR tool uSe ANd cARe
a)
do not force the power tool. use the correct power tool for your application.
The cor-
rect 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)
Maintain power tools. check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s oper-
ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) SeRvIce
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specific Safety Rules
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
•
Always hold tool firmly with both hands and only operate when hand held.
•
use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
WARNING
: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING
:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING
: use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury
. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and
body.
cAutIoN
: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

USE of ExtENSIoN CoRDS
Make sure the extension cord
is in good condition before
using. Always use the proper
size extension cords with the
tool – that is, proper wire size
for various lengths of cord and
heavy enough to carry the
current the tool will draw. Use of
an undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
For proper size cords see chart
below.
