GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warn-
ings and instructions for future reference. The term
"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
f
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
f
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
f
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
f
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 surfac-
f
es, 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.
f
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
f
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
f
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
f
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
f
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a pow-
er 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 per-
sonal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
f
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
f
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
f
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
English
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
f
all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery.
f
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
f
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
f
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
f
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
f
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
f
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
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
f
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired be-
fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
f
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
f
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
f
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
f
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
f
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
f
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
