GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARN-
INGS
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
areas invite accidents.
f
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq -
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
f
Keep children and bystanders away while operat -
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
f
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. Un -
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric 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 condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
f
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, 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 ex -
tension 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 un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro -
tected 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 in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may re-
sult 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 re-
duce 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
personal injury.
f
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the pow-
er 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 collec -
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
f
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow -
er 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 mea-
sures reduce 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 pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained 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 operation. 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
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 haz -
ardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
f Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. 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
battery 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
