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. Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3. 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.
4. 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
1. Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCESETUP
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 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.
4. 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.
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 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.
7. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
8. 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
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 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. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7. 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.
