Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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
operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
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 outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
acord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a RESIDUAL CURRENT
DEVICE (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 (PPE).
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the BATTERY pack, if detachable,
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.
