GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION.
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.
Please retain 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY.
Keep your 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 bystanders, children and animals
away while operating the 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 adaptor 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 the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
1
the power tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use to reduce 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 or
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 a 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 the 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 are switched on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or 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 appropriately. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
