WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,suchasinthepresenceofammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keepchildrenandbystandersawaywhileoperating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoidbodycontactwithearthedorgrounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Donotabusethecord.Neverusethecordfor 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. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extensioncordsuitableforoutdooruse. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,useanearthleakagecircuitbreaker. Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) 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 theinuenceofdrugs,alcoholormedication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) 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. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch isintheo-positionbeforeconnectingtopower sourceand/orbatterypack,pickinguporcarrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Removeanyadjustingkeyorwrenchbeforeturning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Donotoverreach.Keepproperfootingandbalance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) 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. g) 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.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 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. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turnitonando. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or thebatterypackfromthepowertoolbeforemaking7 any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) 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. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bindingofmovingparts,breakageofpartsandany otherconditionthatmayaectthepowertool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired beforeuse. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Usethepowertool,accessoriesandtoolbitsetc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to beperformed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Haveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedrepair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
