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 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.
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. 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
interrupter (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 a 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.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and
thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on total length of all extension cords
plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heaviergauge.

1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.
Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices
auxaccidents.
b ) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques
dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.
Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui
pourraient enflammer la poussière ou lesvapeurs.
c ) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité
pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une
distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise
àl’utilisateur.
2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité
a ) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent
correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la
fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche
d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la
terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par
l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à
laprise.
b ) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces
mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de
choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à
laterre.
c ) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou
à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil
électrique augmente le risque de chocélectrique.
d ) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne
jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer
ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le
cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords
tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons
endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques
de chocélectrique.
e ) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur,
se servir d’une rallonge convenant à cette
application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour
l’extérieur réduira les risques de chocélectrique.
f ) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un
outil électrique dans un endroit humide,
brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit
d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à
la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur
réduit les risques de chocélectrique.
3) Sécurité personnelle
a ) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire
preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est
utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de
fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou
de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en
utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures
corporellesgraves.
b ) Utiliser des équipements de protection
individuelle. Toujours porter une protection
oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection
comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures
