Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
Personal Safety
• 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
mo ment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• 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 power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
ON invites accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it ON
and OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool
or these instructions to operate the tool. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool's op er ation. If
damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for
your tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool, may become hazardous when used on another
tool.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
• Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
