There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
3) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
4) 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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
5) 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.
Personal Safety
1) 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 oper-
ating power tools may result in per-
sonal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or plugging in the
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
6) 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.
7) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and proper-
ly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1) 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.
2) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
