TY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool and battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2)
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.
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.
Unmodified 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.
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
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result inpersonal injury.
2)
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in the power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
7)
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices 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.
Suc h pre ven tive safe ty measu res
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 misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakag e of part s 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2)
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.
3)
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4)
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
5)
be ejected from 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
1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of power
tool is maintained.
II
. SPECIFIC SAFE-
TY RULES
1) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
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 grip-
ping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make ex-
posed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
4) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately
turn the main switch off to prevent an
overload which can damage the battery
pack or motor. Use reverse motion to
loosen jammed bits.
5) Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid
injury.
