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.

If operating the power tool in damp locations
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

Use of

an GFCI reduce the risk of electric shock.

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 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 finger on the
switch or energizing 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 dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

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.

Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
