GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA SAFETY

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

•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 fl 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.

•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. Unmodifi ed 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 ground fault circuit inter­rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

•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 infl uence 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, 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 fi 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 bal-

ance 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 and clothing

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.

•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

•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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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 ac-

cidents 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.

•Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

•Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used
with another battery pack.

•Use power tools onl

y with specifi cally designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fi re.

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi 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.



•Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur­faces, when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.

•Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Expo-
sure to noise can cause hearing loss.

•Use only sockets and other accessories spe­cifi cally designed for use on impact wrenches
and drivers. Other sockets and accessories might

shatter or break causing injury.

•

•WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause can­cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe­cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

SERVICE

•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 fi re.

•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci­dentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam­aged or modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries

may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re,
explosion or risk of injury.

•Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fi re or tem-

perature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.

•Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specifi ed in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specifi ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fi re.

•Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

•Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
