GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire 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-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b ) 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.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) 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 risk of electric shock.
b ) 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.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
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.
e ) 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 electric shock.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal Safety

a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d ) 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 result in personal injury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h ) 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.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c ) 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
