WARNING
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instruc-
tions 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. Clut-
tered 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. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECRRICAL 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. Un-
modified 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.
3
• 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 and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease 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 out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the power tool in the rain,
where water is splashing, in a wet
place, or in a damp place. Using the tool
in these or similar conditions will increase
the risk of electric shock, dangerous malfunction, and overheating. 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
•
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.
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
A moment
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection, hand protector 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 a
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 jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 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.
4
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 acci-
dents 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 op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR
WATER. Battery packs/batteries should
be collected, recycled or disposed of in an
environmental-friendly manner.
• PROTECT THE BATTERY AGAINST
HEAT, ALSO AGAINST CONTINUOUS
SUN IRRADIATION AND FIRE. There is
danger of explosion.
• CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IN A
TEMPERATURE RANGE 5°C (41°F) TO
40°C (104°F)
6. SERVICE
5
• DO NOT DISPOSE OF POWER TOOLS
INTO HOUSEHOLD WASTE. According
to the European Guideline 2002/96/EC
for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national
right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally correct
manner.
• DEFFECTIVE OR DEAD OUT BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES MUST BE RECYCLED ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINE 91/157/EEC.
• 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 type of 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.
•
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.
