GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Read all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work are clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate the machine in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. This machine
creates sparks which may ignite.
c) Keep children and by standers
away while operating the
machine. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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 your machine to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the appliance 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 the machine
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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 energizing
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) 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND
CARE
a) Do not force the machine. Use
the correct machine for your
application. The correct machine
will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the machine if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any machine that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source from the machine
before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle machine out of the
reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the machine. This
machine is dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain the machine. Check
for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the machine's operation.
If damaged, have the machine
repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained machine.
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.
