GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING! 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 fu-
ture reference. The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (cord-
ed) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
f
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
f
atmospheres, 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
f
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
f
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 elec-
tric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
f
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, 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
f
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
f
for carrying, 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,
f
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
f
tion is unavoidable, 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
f
use common sense when operating a pow-
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Al-
f
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
f
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, 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 be-
f
fore 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
f
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
f
ing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
f
rect power 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
f
does not 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
f
source from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
f
children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
f
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
f
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
