Safety
WARNING
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refer to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1.
Work area safety
A.
Keep the 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, gasses, 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.
D.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not
use appliances in damp or wet locations.
2.
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 a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
C.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
that the switch is in the O
before connecting to a power source
and/or battery pack and 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 on the power tool. 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 tied
back and your 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 that these
are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
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 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
