IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and 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.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or 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 grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased

risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase 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 influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.

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

3. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the Trigger is in the off-position
before connecting to power source,
picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on
the Trigger or energizing power tools that

have the Trigger on invites accidents.

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.

6. 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.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

5. 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.

6. Only use safety equipment that has
been approved by an appropriate
standards agency. Unapproved safety

equipment may not provide adequate
protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH-approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool.
Use the correct power tool for your

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

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
Trigger does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the Trigger is

dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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 maintained.
