ELECTRICAL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.

WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:

Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety
equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

!

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the

tool, use proper circuit protection.

This tool is wired at the factory for 120 V AC operation. It must be
connected to a 120 V AC, 15 A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed
fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord
immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

WARNING: 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.

Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

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.

Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical safety
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.

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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

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.

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.

If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of
electric shock.

Personal safety
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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

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.

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.

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d

Power tool use and care
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.

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.

Battery tool use and care
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.

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

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.

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.

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
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.
