General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the

warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power

tool.

Work area safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit.a.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate power tools inb.

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystandersc.

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical safety2.

Power tool plugs must match thea.

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching out-

lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with groundedb.

surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rainc.

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never used.

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.

When operating a power tool out-e.

doors, use an extension cord suit-

able for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a dampf.

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 do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired

or under the inuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal

injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropri-

ate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting.c.

Ensure the switch is in the off-po-

sition before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, pick-

ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-

ing power tools with your nger on

the switch or energizing power tools

that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

Remove any adjusting key ord.

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.

Do not overreach. Keep propere.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loosef.

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.

If devices are provided for the con-g.

nection of dust extraction and col-

lection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use

of these devices can reduce dust-

related hazards.

Only use safety equipment thath.

has been approved by an appropri-

ate standards agency. Unapproved

safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection

must be ANSI-approved and breath-

ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-

proved for the specic hazards in the

work area.

Power tool use and care4.

Do not force the power tool. Usea.

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.

Do not use the power tool if theb.

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.

Disconnect the plug from thec.

power source and/or the battery

pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, chang-

ing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the

power tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of thed.

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper-

ate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

Maintain power tools. Check fore.

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp andf.

clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

Use the power tool, accessoriesg.

and 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 differ-

ent from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care5.

Recharge only with the chargera.

specied by the manufacturer. A

charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of re

when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with speci-b.

cally designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and re.

When battery pack is not in use,c.

keep it away from other metal ob-

jects, like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal

objects, that can make a connec-

tion from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals togeth-

er may cause burns or a re.

Under abusive conditions, liquidd.

may be ejected from the battery;

avoid contact. If contact acciden-

tally occurs, ush with water. If

liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected

from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

Service6.

Have your power tool serviced bya.

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.
