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 INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery­operated (cordless) power tool.

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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a

GFCI 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.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust
mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

c) 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.

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.

SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains
relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols
below are used to help you recognize this information.

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially haz ard ous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or mod er ate injury.

NOTICE: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

3

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 dust collection 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 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.

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 tool’s 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, 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Fastener 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 with impact

drivers. Exposure to noise can cause

hearing loss.

• Use clamps or another practical way

to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the work

by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• When not in use, place tool on its side

on a stable surface where it will not
cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some

tools with large battery packs will stand
upright but may be easily knocked over.

• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from air vents. Air vents often

cover moving parts in which these items
can be caught.

• Hold tool rmly with two hands. Loss

of control can cause personal injury.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye

protection. Hammering and drilling

operations cause chips to y. Flying particles
can cause permanent eye damage.

• Bits, sockets and tools get hot during

operation. Wear gloves when touching

them.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods

of time. Vibration caused by tool action

may be harmful to your hands and arms.
Use gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest
periods.

• Wear appropriate personal hearing

protection during use. Under some

conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.

WARNING: Impact wrenches are not

torque wrenches. Do not use this tool for
tightening fasteners to specied torques.
An independent, calibrated torque
measurement device such as a torque
wrench should be used when under
tightened or over tightened fasteners can
lead to the failure of the joint.

WARNING:A L WAYS use safety

glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

•ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/
CPA Z94.3),

•ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

•NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Always wear proper

personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING:

Some dust created by

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

•lead from lead-based paints,
 • 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 lter out
microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into

your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING:

Use of this tool can

generate and/or disperse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury. Always use NOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.

fastening torque.

•Accessory size: Failure to use the
correct accessory size will cause a
reduction in fastening torque.

•Bolt Size: Larger bolt diameters generally
require higher fastening torque. Fastening
torque will also vary according to length,
grade, and torque coefficient.

•Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free
of rust and other debris to allow proper
fastening torque
