and all 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
The term "power tool" in the WARNINGs
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAve TheSe INSTRucTIoNS
1) WoRk AReA SAfeTy
a) keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) elecTRIcAl SAfeTy
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.

Read all safety warnings
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) 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.
3) PeRSoNAl SAfeTy
a) 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.
b) use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, nonskid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) do not overreach. keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) 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
