READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES — FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fl ammable 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.
Distrac-
tions 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.
Unmodifi ed 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 refrigerators.
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 unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or mov-
ing parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
9.
Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
10.
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
11.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plug-
ging in.
Carrying tools with your fi nger on
the switch or plugging 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 attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
13.
Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
14.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
15.
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of these de-
vices can reduce dust-related hazards.
