GENERAL SAFETY RULES

7. 

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

1. 

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.

2. 

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.

3. 

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.

4. 

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 us-

ers.

5. 

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 opera-

tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before 

use.

 Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained 

power tools.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 

likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. 

in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. 

Use of the power tool for operations different 

from those intended could result in a hazardous situa-

tion.

8. 

Use clamps to secure your workpiece to a stable 

surface. 

Holding a workpiece by hand or using your 

body to support it may lead to loss of control.

9. 

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

 and in working order.

SERVICE

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts. 

This 

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-

tained.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, 

drilling, and other construction activities may contain 

chemicals, including lead, known to the State of Califor-

nia to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive 

harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of 

these chemicals are:

•  Lead from lead-based paints.
•  Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other 

masonry products.

•  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 ex-

posure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area 

with approved safety equipment such as dust masks 

specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. The term “power tool” 

in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING!

 Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may 

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