SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications 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 instruc- tions
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
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmo- spheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet con- ditions.
Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit inter- rupter (GFCI)
protected supply.
Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce
electromagnetic fields (EMF) that
are not harmful to the user.
However,
users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the
maker of their device and/ or doctor for
advice before operating this power tool.
Personal Safety
1. 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 med- ication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. 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.
3. 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 energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
