SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specica-

tions provided with this power tool. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all

warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-

ated (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 atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-

ing 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. Un-

modied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

• Do 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. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-

tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces

the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay 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

inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-

ment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

• 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.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the

switch or energizing 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 at-

tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result

in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power

tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from

moving 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 properly used. Use of dust col-

lection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can

cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and o󰀨. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

• 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 users.

• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-

age of parts and any other condition that may

a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before use. Many ac-

cidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• 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.

• 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

di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazard-

ous situation.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles

and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling

and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair

person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.
