GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before

using this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury and tool

damage. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, follow the below precautions.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Remove the battery when the power tool is not in use and before servicing. Turn off all controls on

the tool before removing the battery.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control. Do not allow this tool to be used as a toy.

4. 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 those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Maintain power tools. 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 re-

paired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Do not put any objects into the tool’s openings. Do not use the tool with any opening blocked;

keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, or any other object that may reduce air flow.

7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and fingers away

from openings and moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

8. Be aware of your environment. It is not recommended to use this tool on stairs, slippery inclines,

wet surfaces, etc.

9. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-

uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-

erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
