Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. 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.

2. If charging the power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected power supply. The using of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any earthed (grounded)
power tools or battery chargers. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the charging 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.
7. Battery charger is for indoor use only. Only charge this
battery-powered tool indoors.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the
power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tool may result in serious personal
injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as safety glasses,
a dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, and
hearing protection, when used for appropriate conditions,
will reduce the possibility of personal injuries.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF position before connecting to the power source/
battery charger, or before picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
charging power tools with the switch ON can lead to
accidents.
