GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence. The term "power tool" in the warnings re-
fers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
f
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
f
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while op-
f
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
f
er 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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
f
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
f
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
f
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 medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
f
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
f
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source, 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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
f
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
f
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
f
jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
ery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
f
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
f
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
f
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
f
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, 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 chil-
f
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
f
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Proper-
f
ly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
f
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
Recharge only with the charger specified by
f
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.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
f
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
f
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small met-
al objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
f
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
