Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety
Keep
work
area
clean
and
well
lit.
Cluttered
or 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 extension
cord
suitable
for
outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable
for
outdoor
use reduces
the risk of electric
shock.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply.
While the tool may appear to
work,
the electrical
components
of the AC
rated
tool
are
likely
to fail
and create
a
hazard to the operator.
If operating
the power
tool in damp
locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to
supply the power to your tool. GFCI and
personal protection devices like electrician's
rubber gloves
and footwear
will further
enhance your personal safety.
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 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 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 balance
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,
clothing
and
gloves
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
