General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, 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-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY

1. keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas promote 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.

4. The included auto-feed screwdriver attachment was designed to work with one make and several models of power screwdrivers. Refer to the screwdriver manufacturer’s operator’s manual for related safety and operating instructions.
   ElECTRICAl SAFETY

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the cord. Never use 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.

9. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a RESIDUAl CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

10. Hold power tool using its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the fastener may come into contact with hidden wiring. Fasteners that come into contact with a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

11. If operating a power tool in damp location is unavoidable, use a Residual Current Devise (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
    NOTE: the term “Residual Current Devise (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)” or “Earth leakage Circuit breaker (ElCb)”.
    PERSONAl SAFETY

12.  Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common 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. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
    GENERAl POWER TOOl SAFETY WARNINGS

13.  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

14. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 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 finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on promotes accidents.

15.  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.

16. Do not overreach. keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

17. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

18.  If devices are provided for dust extraction and collection, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

19. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
    POWER TOOl USE AND CARE

20. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will provide better safer results when used according to its specifications.

21.  Do not use the power tool if the power switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

22. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the bATTERY pack, if detachable, 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.

23. Store idle power tools out of the reach 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.

24. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for 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.

25.  keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

26.  Use the power tool, accessories 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 different from its intended purpose could result in a hazardous situation.

27.  keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
    SERVICE

28. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

29. Users or full-service dealers need to be aware that a spring is housed inside the feed system. It will release from its constrained position during disassembly. Normal precautions should apply.
