PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
● Lead from lead-based paints;
● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products;
● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
WARNING
This product can expose you to
chemicals including lead and Di(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate (DEHP) which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. For more

GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re 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.
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
ammable 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.
Unmodied 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 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 residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD 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 inuence 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 nger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
● Remove any adjusting key or wrench
