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
nKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
nDo not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
nKeep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
nPower 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.
nAvoid 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.
nDo not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
nDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Dam-
aged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
nWhen 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
nStay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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.
nUse safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
nAvoid 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.
nRemove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
nDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
nDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
nIf devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction andcollection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
nDo 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.
nDo not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that can not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous andmust be
repaired.
nDisconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
nStore 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.
nMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
bindling of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
nKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
nUse 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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
nEnsure the switch is in the off position before in-
serting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
nRecharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
nUse power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
nwhen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
nUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
nHave 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
maintained.
SPECIAL RULES
nWear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
CHARGER SAFETY
nTo reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel-cadmium
type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries
may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
nDo not expose charger to wet or damp conditions.
nUse of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injuries to person.
nTo reduce risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull
by charger plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
nMake sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage and
stress.
nAn extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must
be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
nDo not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug. If
damaged, have it replaced immediately by a qualified
serviceman.
nDo not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take
it to a qualified serviceman.
nDo not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incor-
rect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock
or fire.
nTo reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger
from outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
nDisconnect charger from power supply when not in
use.
nRisk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion
of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
nSave these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this unit. If you
loan someone this unit, loan them these instructions
also.
