TY 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 and battery operated (cord­ less) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 atmospheres, 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 electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

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 unplug­ ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov­ ing parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5)When operating a power tool out­ doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

1)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat­ ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medica­ tion.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.

2)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 conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3)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 the 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 foot­ ing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6)Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth­ ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth­ ing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7)If devices are provided for the con­ nection of dust extraction and col­ lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1)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.

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

Any power tool that cannot be control­ led with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3)Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
