GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 whil e

operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

b. 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.

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yourfingerontheswitchorenergising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.

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

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. L oose clothes,

jewellery 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 can
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source

an d/or the ba ttery 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.

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.

Sa ve all warnings and instructions for fut ure
reference.

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

1. WORK AREA

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
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed 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

ele ctric sho ck i f your body is earthe d 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 power tools in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

2

English

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. P ower 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 cond itio ns and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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.

b. Use pow er t o ols only with spec ifical ly
designated battery packs. Use of any other

  batterypacksmaycreateariskofinjuryandfire.

c. 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
