GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
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 or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b)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.
c)Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a)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.
b)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.
c)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d)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.
e)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.
3) Personal safety
a)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 in serious personal
injury.
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)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 power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)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.
g)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.
4) Power tool use and care
a)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.
b)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.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d)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.
e)Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 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.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)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.
5) Service
a)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.
