moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
•
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 mo -
ment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
•
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.
•
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 energizing power tools that have the switch
ON invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool ON.
A wrench or a key left at -
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewel ry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
•
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.
•
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.

Power Tool use And Care
•
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 is
designed.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow -
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 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 dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
•
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.
