Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase 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 operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2.

use personal protective 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.

prevent unintentional starting. ensure the switch

is in the off-position before connecting to

power source, 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.

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 situations.

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 properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

8.

Only use safety equipment that has been

approved by an appropriate standards agency.

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection must be

ANSI-approved and breathing protection

must be NIOSH-approved for the

specific hazards in the work area.

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/trigger

does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch/trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.

3.

Disconnect 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.

4.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow 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 moving parts, breakage 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.

6.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7.

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 performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

1.

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.

2.

use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
