WARNING
Read
all
safety
warnings
and
all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock,
fi
re 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.
1)
Work
area
safety
a)
Keep
work
area
clean
and
well
lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do
not
operate
power
tools
in
explosive
atmospheres,
such
as
in
the
presence
of
fl
ammable
liquids,
gases
or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep
children
and
bystanders
away
while
operating
a
power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2)
Electrical
safety
a)
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.
Unmodi
fi
ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b)
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.
c)
Do
not
expose
power
tools
to
rain
or
wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d)
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.
e)
When
operating
a
power
tool
outdoors,
use
an
extension
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
unavoidable,
use
a
residual
current
device
(RCD)
protected
supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3)
Personal
safety
a)
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
in
fl
uence
of
drugs,
alcohol
or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b)
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.
c)
Prevent
unintentional
starting.
Ensure
the
switch
is
in
the
o
ff
-
position
before
connecting
to
power
source
and/or
battery
pack,
picking
up
or
carrying
the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your
fi
nger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
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.
e)
Do
not
overreach.
Keep
proper
footing
and
balance
at
all
times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
