GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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 (corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
f
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark ar-
eas invite accidents.
f
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.
f
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
f
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod -
ify 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 elec-
tric shock.
f
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur -
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
f
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
f
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 and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
f
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid -
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
f
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com -
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ -
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
f
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.
f
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.
f
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 per-
sonal injury.
f
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel -
ery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
f
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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
f
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.
f
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.
f
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 re -
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
f
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.
f
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 op -
eration. 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 main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations differ -
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
f
Recharge only with the charger specified by the man -
ufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
f
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat -
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
f
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
f
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden -
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
