WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this machine. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) machines. 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 machines to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine 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 machine in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a machine. Do not use a
machine while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating machines may result in serious personal
injury.
GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
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. Carry-
ing machines with your finger on the switch or energising
machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the machine may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any machine 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 machine before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing machines.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
Store idle machines out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or
these instructions to operate the machine. Machines
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain machines. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If
damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
