PARTS LIST

WARNING!

• Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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 tools or battery-operated (Cordless) Power tools.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Don’t operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRIC SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Don’t use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Don’t abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increased the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated residual current of 30mA or less is always recommended.
