General Power Tool
Safety Warnings
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your main-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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 the risk of electric
shock.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1. 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.
2. 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 the
risk of injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to the power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up, or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or power tools that have been
turned on, invites accidents.
4. 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
increase the risk of injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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 by moving
parts.
7. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that 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 is designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if it can’t
be turned on and off by its switch. 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 before storing the power tool. Such
preventive safety measure reduces
the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate it. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

5. Maintain the power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. 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 maintained 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 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1. Recharge 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.
2. Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When 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 fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If you accidentally
contact the battery liquid, flush it with
water. If the battery liquid contacts the
eyes, seek medical help as soon as
possible. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair professional using
only the identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
