Safety instructions

WARNING.

Read and understand 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 below refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Save these instructions
Work area

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

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.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

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.

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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

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.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use

of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal safety

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.

Use safety equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

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.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the tool on.

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

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.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities ensure that these

are connected and properly used.

Use of these

devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

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.

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.
