GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the

warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power

tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Personal Safety

9. 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.

10. Use safety 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.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is

in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

12. 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving

parts.

15. 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.

Power tool use and care

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may affect the

power tools operation. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions and

in the manner intended for the particular type

of power tool, 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.

Battery tool use and care

23. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack

into power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

24. 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.

25. Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

26. 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.

27. 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.

SERVICE

28. 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.

29. Follow instruction for lubricating and

changing accessories.

30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product

(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence

to screwdriver safety rules. If you use this power

tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious

personal injury.

1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or

its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock

the operator.

2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in

high locations.

3. Hold the tool firmly.

4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece

immediately after operation; they may be

extremely hot and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in

this instruction manual may cause serious personal

injury.
