General

Safety

Rules

_

WARNING!

Read all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the

warnings

listed below refers

to your

mains-operated

(corded)

power

tool or battery-

operated

(cordless)

power tool.

SAVE

THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres,

such as in the presence

of

flammable

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. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

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. Replace or repair damaged cords.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that

have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

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. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will

draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length

and nameplate ampere rating, ff in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the

gauge number, the heavier the cord.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a)

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 influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power toolsmay

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety

equipment.

Always

wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-

tions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental

starting.

Ensure

the switch

is in the off-position

before plugging

in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d) 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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) 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. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

g) ff devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction

and collection

facilities,

ensure these are connected

and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-

related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool

Use the correct power

tool for your application.

The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect

the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power

tool before making any adjustments,

changing

accessories,

or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamil-

iar with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool Power tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misallgnment

or binding

of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tools operation,

ff dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting

tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

g) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc., in accordance

with these instruc-

tions and in the manner intended

for the particular

type of power tool, taking into

account

the working

conditions

and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Ensure

the switch

is in the off position before inserting

battery pack. Inserting the

battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
