GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury. e term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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 out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. ere 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, pull-
ing 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 to outdoor use. Use a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces 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 medi-
cation. 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.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion 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. is enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing 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 prop-
erly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. e 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 bat-
tery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventa-
tive 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 tools or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding or
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tools 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 cut-
ting 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.
