WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this machine. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless)
machine.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es, 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 machines to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a machine will increase the risk of fire and
electric shock. KEEP BATTERY DRY AT ALL TIMES.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine 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 machine in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a machine. Do not use a
machine while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating machines may result in serious personal
injury.
GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY RULES
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 machines with your finger on the switch or ener-
gising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the machine
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
machine before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine
accidentally.
Store idle machines out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or
these instructions to operate the machine. Machines
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain machines and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment 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 machines.
