GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARN-
INGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term “pow-
er tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
f
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
f
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo
-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
f
Keep children and bystanders away while oper
-
ating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
f
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev
-
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.
f
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.
f
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con
-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
f
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 and
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
f
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
f
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 medi
-
cation.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
f
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 condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
f
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect
-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
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.
f
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.
f
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
jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
ery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
f
If devices are provided for the connection of
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
f
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.
f
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
f
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac
-
cessories, or storing power tools.
Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
f
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil
-
dren 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.
f
Maintain 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.
f
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak
-
ing 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
f
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.
