IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all 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 all of the warnings refers to your corded

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 grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

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

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

e) 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) 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.
