parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
8. 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 elec-
tric shock.
Personal safety
9. 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
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
11. Avoid 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.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. 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.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
19. 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.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
Service
23. Have 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.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to drill
safety rules. If you use this power tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
2. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
3. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
4. Hold the tool firmly.
5. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
6. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
7. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
8. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
