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
warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) 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 atmo-
f
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
f
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
f
ify 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 elec-
tric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
f
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. 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 carry-
f
ing, 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 elec-
tric 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 un-
f
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
f
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence 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
f
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection 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
f
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
f
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
f
ery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
f
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected 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 pow-
f
er 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
f
turn 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/
f
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures 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
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained 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.
f
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
