GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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-oper-ated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nevermodify the plug in any way. Do not use anyadapter plugs with earthed (grounded) powertools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets willreduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or groundedsurfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges andrefrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord forcarrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges ormoving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increasethe risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use anextension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location isunavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and usecommon 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. Amoment of inattention while operating power toolsmay result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Alwayswear eye protection. Protective equipment suchas a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat orhearing protection used for appropriate conditionswill reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to powersource and/or battery pack, picking up or carryingthe tool. Carrying power tools with your finger onthe switch or energizing power tools that have theswitch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench beforeturning the power tool on. A wrench or a key leftattached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing andbalance at all times. This enables better controlof the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing orjewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away frommoving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long haircan be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection ofdust extraction and collection facilities, ensurethese are connected and properly used. Use ofdust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent useof tools allow you to become complacent andignore tool safety principles. A careless action cancause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct powertool for your application. The correct power toolwill do the job better and safer at the rate for whichit was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot becontrolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, fromthe 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 of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with thepower tool or these instructions to operate thepower tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Checkfor misalignment or binding of moving parts,breakage of parts and any other condition thatmay 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. Properlymaintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edgesare less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bitsetc. 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, cleanand free from oil and grease. Slippery handles andgrasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specified by themanufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one typeof battery pack may create a risk of fire when usedwith another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designatedbattery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it awayfrom other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejectedfrom the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquidcontacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritationor burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteriesmay exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire orexcessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperaturerange specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified rangemay damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
