General

Safety

Rules

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE 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 flam-

mable 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 out-

door 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 ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) 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 equip-

ment such as dust mask, nonskid 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)

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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g)

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.

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 unfa-

miliar 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, break-

age 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.

f)

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-

ting 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 per-

formed.

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.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold power tool by insulated grippng surfaces, when performing an operation where

the fastener may contact hidden wiring.

Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of

work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING:

Fire or burn hazard. Batteries can explode or leak, and can cause injury

or fire.

To reduce this risk:

• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and

the equipment.

• Do not short battery terminals.

• Do not recharge.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of

the same brand and type.

• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come

in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.

The US

Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) prohibits transporting

batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS

they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make

sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact

them and cause a short circuit.

NOTE: Batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
