WARNING!
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq-
uids, 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.
4.
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.
5.
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
6.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
7.
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.
9.
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 per-
sonal injury.
10.
Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
11.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in.
Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
12.
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
13.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
8.
When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
