General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for this accessory and the power tool 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 or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled 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 outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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 protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in 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.

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 unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction 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 better 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 adjustments, 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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., 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 hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 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.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or

burns.

6) SERVICE

a) 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 maintained.

Additional Safety Rules

WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified safety
equipment:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3).

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.

• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

• Do not use without dustbox and/or filter in place.

• Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or

use in areas where flammable or combustible liquids are present.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust box after each use.

• Do not leave dust extractor unattended when battery is installed. Remove battery

pack when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not put any objects into the openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep

free of dust, lint, hair and anything else that may reduce air flow.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Although the filter material removes 99.97% of airborne
particles 0.3 microns or greater, the dust extration system may not capture all of the dust
created by the drilling operation. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection. Under some conditions

and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

FIG. 7

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES

LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil électrique à
alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en

présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques

produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.

2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ

a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais

modifier la fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un
outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation

de fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise.

b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des

tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc

électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. La pénétration de

l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour

transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de
la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons

endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge

convenant à cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur

réduira les risques de choc électrique.

f) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit

humide, brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d’alimentation dotés
d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur réduit

les risques de choc électrique.

3) SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un

outil électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue
ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment

d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles
graves.

b) Utiliser des équipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection comme un masque antipoussière, des

chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la
situation le requiert réduira les risques de blessures corporelles.

c) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer que l’interrupteur se trouve

à la position d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation et/ou
d’insérer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil

électrique alors que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont
l’interrupteur est à la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de

réglage attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures
corporelles.

e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet

de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situations imprévues.

f) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de

bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des pièces
mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester

coincés dans les pièces mobiles.

g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de

dépoussiérage et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés et
utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés

par les poussières.

4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D’UN OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE

a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique approprié à l’application.

L’outil électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse
pour laquelle il a été conçu.

b) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil

électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé.

c) Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil

électrique avant de faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire ou avant de
ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel

de l’outil électrique.

d) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants et ne permettre à

aucune personne n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou son mode
d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils électriques deviennent dangereux entre les

mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

e) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les pièces mobiles sont mal alignées

ou coincées, si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute autre condition
susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de
dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation.

Beaucoup d’accidents sont causés par des outils électriques mal entretenus.

f) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et propres. Les outils de coupe

bien entretenus et affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à
maîtriser.

g) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformément aux

présentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail
à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle pour

laquelle il a été conçu est dangereuse.

5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES

a) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation

d’un chargeur qui convient à un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s’il
est utilisé avec un autre type de b loc-piles.

b) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles conçus à cet effet.

L’utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou un incendie.

c) Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, le tenir éloigné des objets métalliques,

notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des clous, des vis ou
autres petits objets métalliques qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les
deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des brûlures

ou un incendie.

d) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles; éviter tout

contact avec ce liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver à grande
eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir également des soins
médicaux. Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des

brûlures.

6) RÉPARATION

a) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur professionnel en n’utilisant

que des pièces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation

sécuritaire de l’outil électrique.
