RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
GENRAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, re 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 or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) 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 ammable 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.
2) 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.
Unmodied 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 the
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
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the inuence
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 a dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection, used for appropriate conditions,
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
that 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 nger 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 that these are connected and
properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Page 5
page 5
4) 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 more safely 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, 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) Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger
specied by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
When the battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects,
such as 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 re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, ush with water and then seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
