GENERAL SAFETY
RULES
WARNING!
Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool and
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2) 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.
3) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1) 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.
2) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4) 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.
5) 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.

Personal safety

1) 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in personal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-
ing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in the power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
7) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
1) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
3) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children 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.
