REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or
battery-operated
(cordless) power tooL
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.
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.
f) ff operating
a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable,
use a ground
fault
circuit
interrupter
(GFCl) protected
supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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 tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) 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.
c) 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 energising 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.

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.
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 it was
designed.
b) 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.
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
unfamiliar
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
tool's
operation,
ff damaged,
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
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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 burns or a fire.
