Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in an electric
shock, re and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT OPERATE POWER TOOLS IN EX-
PLOSIVE 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. Dis-
tractions 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. Unmodied plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. AVOID BODY CONTACT WITH EARTHED OR
GROUNDED SURFACES SUCH AS PIPES,
RADIATORS, RANGES AND REFRIGERA-
TORS. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO THE
RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS. Water enter-
ing a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
4. DO NOT 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 increase the risk of electric
shock.
5. WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL OUT-
DOORS, USE AN EXTENSION CORD SUIT-
ABLE 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 DO-
ING 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.
2. USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS WEAR
EYE PROTECTION. Safety equipment such
as a 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 nger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites ac-
cidents.
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
FOOTING AND BALANCE AT ALL TIMES.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. DRESS PROPERLY. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE
CLOTHING OR JEWELRY. KEEP YOUR
HAIR, CLOTHING AND GLOVES AWAY
FROM MOVING PARTS. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in the moving
parts.
7. IF DEVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR THE
CONNECTION OF DUST EXTRACTION
AND COLLECTION FACILITIES, ENSURE
THESE ARE CONNECTED AND PROP-
ERLY 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
