Safety Warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term
"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
�)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
�)
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.
�)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
�.� Personal Safety
�)
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.
�)
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
�)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to the 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.
�)
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.
