PERSONAL
SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common
sense when
operating
a power tool.
Do not use tool while 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
in 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 these devices 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 more safely 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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 repaired
before
use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
