WARNING:

 Read all safety warnings 

and 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. 

 

Work area safety 

 

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents. 

 

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. 

 

Keep children and bystanders away while 

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause 

you to lose control. 

 

Electrical safety 

 

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. 

 

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. 

 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 

conditions. Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock. 

 

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. 

 

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. 

 

 

 

If operating a power tool in a damp location 

is unavoidable, use a residual current device 

(RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault 

circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of 

electric shock. 

 

Personal safety 

 

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. 

 

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 

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 

balance at all times. This enables better 

control of the power tool in unexpected 

situations. 

 

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. 

 

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.
