Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications pro-
vided 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. 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.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
f. If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected sup-
ply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a pow-
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con-
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car-
rying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair and cloth-
ing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
