WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specifi cally designed to fi lter out microscopic
particles.

PERSONAL SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA SAFETY

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
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.

• 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.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions.

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 a cord 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.

• 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.

• 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 fi nger on the switch or energising 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

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewel-

lery 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.

WARNING

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND 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.

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 the battery pack 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.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.

Use of the power

tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed

repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
