Safety
When using electric power tools, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
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 all the warnings refers to
your 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, 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.
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 could 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, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions reduces
personal injuries.
C. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
that the switch is in the O
before you connect the tool to a power
source and/or battery pack, pick it up,
or carry it. 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 the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to 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. Tie back and keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
G. If devices are provided for the dust
extraction and collection, ensure that
these are connected and properly
used. Using these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
H. Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting area.
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 adjusting it, changing
accessories on it, or storing it. 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. Store idle appliances indoors. When not
in use, appliances should be stored indoors
in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of
the reach of children.
F. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, broken parts, and any other
condition that may affect the operation
of the power tools. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
G. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
