Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Tool use and care
1.
Do not force the power tool.
Use the power tool
correctly for your application.
The correct use will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch can't turn
the tool on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such safety measures
reduce the risk of staring the power tool accidentally.
4.
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.
5.
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.
Electrical safety
1.
The charger’s plug must match the outlet.
Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
2.
Use this battery-operated tool only with its
specifically designated battery pack.
The use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4.
A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Personal safety
1.
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.
2.
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 conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or recharging power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
4.
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.
5.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
7.
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.
