GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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
WORK AREA SAFETY

 

Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or dark 

areas invite accidents.

 

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.

 

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a 

power tool. 

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 

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.

 

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.

 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

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.

 

Use only with charger listed.

 

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the 

off-position before plugging in. 

Carrying power tools 

with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 jewelry. 

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving 

parts. 

Loose clothes, jewelry 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 these devices can 

reduce dust-related hazards.

 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long 

hair. 

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn 

into air vents.

 

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. 

Stable 

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the 

power tool in unexpected situations.

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 children 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 and in the manner 

intended for the particular type of power tool, 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 

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.

 

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.
