GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. The warnings,
cautions, and instruction discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are a factor which cannot be built into this product, but must
be supplied by the operator.
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well organized. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a risk of fire.
2. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate pack must be recharged
only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
3. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Wear protective goggles when
operating the machine. It is recommended to wear protective goggles, gloves, sturdy
non-slipping shoes and an apron.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in OFF position before installing battery
pack (in case of cordless power tool) or connecting is to a power outlet. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or installing a battery pack (in case of cordless
power tool) when the switch is ON invites accidents. Disconnect tool from power
outlet or uninstall the battery pack before carrying out any work on the machine.
4. Remove adjusting wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
