TY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool and battery operated (cord-
less) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2)
Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3)
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1) 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.
2)
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.
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 unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
5)
When operating a power tool out-
doors, 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 opera-
ting a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in personal 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. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger 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 foot-
ing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
7)
If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and collec-
tion facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly 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 cont-
rolled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
