3. General safety instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING Read all safe-
ty warnings and all instructions . Failure to follow the warn-
ings 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 .
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 and moving parts . Damaged or entan-
gled 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 out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock .
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply .
Use of an RCD 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 pro-
tection . Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries .
c) Prevent unintentional starting . Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool . Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 unex-
pected situations .
f) Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery .
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts .
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts .
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used . Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards .
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool . Use the correct power tool for
your application . The correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed .
b) 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 .
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools . Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally .
d) 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 dan-
