outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp e.
location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing a.
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 medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye b.
protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure c.
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 energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench d.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper e.
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Only use safety equipment that has been g.
approved by an appropriate standards
agency. Unapproved safety equipment
may not provide adequate protection. Eye
protection must be ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be NIOSH-
approved for the specic hazards in the work
area.
Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Use the a.
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.
Do not use the power tool if the switch b.
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power c.
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.
Store idle power tools out of the reach d.
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for e.
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. f.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and g.
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, 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.
