Use and Care Manual
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep  children  and bystanders away while
operating  a  power  tool.  Distractions  can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
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.
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.
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
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.
When  operating  a  power  tool  outdoors,
use an extension 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
is unavoidable, 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
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.
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.
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 invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance  at  all  times.  This  enables  better
control  of  the  power  tool  in  unexpected
situations.
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
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these  are  connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
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 was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not  turn  it  on  and  off.  Any  power  tool  that
cannot  be  controlled  with  the  switch  is
dangerous and must be repaired.
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 tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
