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 battery-operated (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 an earth leakage circuit breaker.

Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker 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, 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 your finger 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

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
