General safety rules
1. General safety rules
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly ground-
ed.
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to car-
ry electricity away from the user.
Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is ground-
ed.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet con di tions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked «W-A» or «W».
These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.

Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, al-
cohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before
plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hea ring
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli-
cation.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source be fore
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other un-
