Tools
_
WARNING!
Read all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may
result in electric shock, fire 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
SAVE
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children
and bystanders
away while operating
a power tooL Distractions can
cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
a) 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
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock
d) 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. Replace or repair damaged cords.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
e) 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. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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 toolsmay
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment.
Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental
starting.
Ensure
the switch
is in the off-position
before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach.
Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing
and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
g) ff devices are provided
for the connection
of dust extraction
and collection
facilities,
ensure these are connected
and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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 # was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool ff the switch does not turn # on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect
the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool
Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instruc-
tions and in the manner intended
for the particular
type of power tool, 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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge
only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
c) Use power
tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery
pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects
like paper
clips,
coins,
keys, nails, screws,
or other
small metal objects
that can make a
connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause bums or a fire.
e) Under abusive
conditions,
liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If
contact
accidentally
occurs,
flush with water, ff liquid
contacts
eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or bums.
6) SERVICE
a) 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.
