GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool
.
Work Area Safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas in-
vite 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.
Electrical Safety
1.
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 out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
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.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions
.
Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord
.
Never use the cord carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected sup-
ply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
7.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit a polar-
ized 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 quali-
fied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
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 protec-
tion
. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions 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 key that is 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 unex-
pected 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.
Power Tool Use and Care
1.
Do not force the power tool
.
Use the correct power tool for
your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is 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 battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are danger-
ous 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 tool’s 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 cut-
ting 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 accor-
dance with these instructions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or seri-
ous injury.
