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, 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.

Work area safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2) Do not operate power tools in ex-

plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable 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

1) 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.

2) 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.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of RCD reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Personal safety

1) 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 medica- tion.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.

2) 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.

3) Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the offposition 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 plugging in the power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

6 -

4) 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.

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6) 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.

7) If devices are provided for the connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and Care

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-

alignment 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.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

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

7) 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

1) 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 batter pack.

2) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

3) 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.

4) Under abusive conditions, liquid may

be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

1) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of power tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY

RULES

1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise

can cause hearing loss.

2) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

3) Hold power tools by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

4) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the trigger switch off to prevent an overload which can damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.

5) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the trigger switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.

6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).

7) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops. The protection circuit will activate and may prevent speed control operation. If this happens, release the speed control trigger and squeeze again for normal operation.

8) Be careful not to get dust inside the chuck.

9) Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid injury.

10) Do not use the tool continuously for a long period of time. Stop using the tool from time to time to avoid temperature rise and heat overload of the motor.

11) Do not drop the tool.
