Warning: read all safety warnings and
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your
electric (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
flammable 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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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 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
marked “W-a” or “W”.
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 ground Fault Circuit
interupter (gFCi) protected supply.
Use of a
GFCI 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 influence 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 off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing 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.
f) dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
4. PoWer tool Use and Care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
