WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and 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 electric (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
4.
Make your workshop childproof
with padlocks and master switches. Lock
tools away when not in use.
5.
MAKE SURE the work area has ample lighting
so you can see the work and that
there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation
BEFORE
using your
power tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
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.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6.
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.
7.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.

1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
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.
8.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
9.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING:
BE SURE to read and understand all instructions before
operating this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
!
TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY
1.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified
electrician
to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
2.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.
!
WARNING:
Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
