GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL POWER TOOLS

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- opearted (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

14.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.

15.If 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.

22.Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particu- lar type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations differ- ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

WORK AREA SAFETY

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

2.Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, 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.

8.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suit- able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

9.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing 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, al- cohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

16. Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your ap-

plication. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

17. Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery

pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, chang-

ing accessories, or storing power

23.Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4.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.

5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re- frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7.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.

10.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equip- ment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro- tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

11.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plug- ging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

13.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

tools. Such preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not al-

low persons unfamiliar with the

power tools or these instructions

to operate power tools. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

20. Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of mov-

ing parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may af-

fect the power tool's operation. If

damaged, have the power tool

repaired before use. Many acci-

dents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.
