WARNING
instructions listed below may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save 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 work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches 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 electrical shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an 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 keys or wrench
before turning the power tool ON. A
wrench or a key attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach, keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enable 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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
u s e o f t o o l s a l l o w y o u t o b e c o m e
c o m p l a c e n t a n d i g n o r e t o o l s a f e t y
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
