WARNING. Read and understand all instructions.

Work area
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• 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.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use 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 moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure that these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
