WORK AREA SAFETY
•

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or 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.

SAFETY

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. 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

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 extension
cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
if operating
a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
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 tool while 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 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.

*

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 in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

*

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.

*

Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

*

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.

*

If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction
and
collection
facilities,
ensure these are connected
and properly used.

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 more safely 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.

*

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.

*

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.

= Maintainpower

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.

=

Keep cutting

=

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

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

TOOL USE AND CARE

•

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.

=

Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

=

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 fire.
