GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.

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

ammable 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. Unmodied 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.

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 inuence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as a 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 nger 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 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 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.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety

principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

-4-

Power tool use and care

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.

Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,

if detachable, from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

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.

Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow

for safe handling and control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specied by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of re

when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and

re.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other

small metal objects, that can make a

connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a re.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, ush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modied. Damaged or modied

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior

resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re

or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or

temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause

explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the battery pack or tool outside

the temperature range specied in the

instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specied range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a

qualied repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Never service damaged battery packs.

Service of battery packs should only be

performed by the manufacturer or authorized

service providers.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR IMPACT WRENCH

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation

where the fastener may contact hidden

wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool

“live” and could give the operator an electric

shock.

WARNING

• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

– Lead from lead-based paints.

– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and

other masonry products.

– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending upon how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals:

– Work in a well-ventilated area.

– Work with approved safety equipment, such

as dust masks that are specially designed to

lter out microscopic particles.

– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities. Wear protective clothing

and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or

to lie on the skin may promote absorption of

harmful chemicals.

AVERTISSEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX RELATIFS À LA SÉCURITÉ POUR

LES OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES

AVERTISSEMENT Lisez tous les avertissements relatifs à la sécurité, les

instructions, les illustrations et les spécications fournies avec

cet outil électrique. Le non-respect de toutes les instructions gurant ci-après pourrait causer un

choc électrique, un incendie et/ou des blessures graves.

CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS

POUR RÉFÉRENCE FUTURE.

Le terme « outil électrique » dans les avertissements fait référence à votre outil électrique à cordon

électrique branché dans une prise secteur ou à votre outil électrique à piles (sans l).

Sécurité de la zone de travail

Gardez votre zone de travail propre et bien

éclairée. Des zones encombrées ou sombres

sont propices aux accidents.

N’utilisez pas des outils électriques dans

une atmosphère explosive, par exemple

en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de

poussières inammables. Les outils

électriques produisent des étincelles qui

risquent de mettre feu aux poussières ou aux

émanations de fumée.

Gardez les enfants et autres personnes

présentes à une distance sufsante lorsque

vous utilisez un outil électrique. Des

distractions risqueraient de vous faire perdre le

contrôle.

Sécurité électrique

La che de l’outil électrique doit

correspondre à la prise de courant. Ne

modiez jamais une che de quelque façon

que ce soit. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateurs

de ches avec des outils électriques mis

à la terre/à la masse. L’emploi de ches non

modiées et de prises de courant correspondant

naturellement aux ches réduira le risque de

choc électrique.

Évitez tout contact de votre corps avec des

surfaces mises à la terre ou à la masse telles

que des surfaces de tuyaux, de radiateurs,

de cuisinières et de réfrigérateurs. Il existe un

risque accru de choc électrique si votre corps

est en contact avec la terre ou la masse.

N’exposez pas d’outils électriques à la

pluie ou à un environnement humide. La

pénétration d’eau dans un outil électrique

augmentera le risque de choc électrique.

N’utilisez pas le cordon de façon abusive.

N’utilisez pas le cordon pour porter, tirer

ou débrancher l’outil électrique. Tenez

le cordon à distance de toute source de

chaleur, d’huile, de bords tranchants ou de

pièces mobiles. Des cordons endommagés

ou entortillés augmentent le risque de choc

électrique.

Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à

l’extérieur, employez un cordon de rallonge

approprié pour un emploi à l’extérieur.

L’utilisation d’un cordon approprié pour une

utilisation à l’extérieur réduit le risque de choc

électrique.

S’il est inévitable d’utiliser un outil

électrique dans un environnement humide,

utilisez une alimentation protégée par un

disjoncteur de circuit de fuite à la terre.

L’utilisation d’un tel circuit réduit le risque de

choc électrique.

Sécurité personnelle

Faites preuve de vigilance et de bon sens, et

observez attentivement ce que vous faites

lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique.

N’utilisez pas un outil électrique si vous êtes

fatigué(e) ou sous l’inuence de drogues,

d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple

moment d’inattention pendant que vous utilisez

un outil électrique pourrait causer une blessure

grave.

Utilisez des équipements de protection

personnelle. Portez toujours des

équipements de protection des yeux.

Des équipements de protection tels qu’un

masque de protection contre la poussière, des

chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, un

casque ou un dispositif de protection de l’ouïe

utilisés en fonction des conditions réduiront le

nombre des blessures.

Prévenez une mise en marche accidentelle.

Assurez-vous que l’interrupteur est dans la

position d’arrêt (OFF) avant de connecter

l’appareil à une source d’alimentation et/

ou à un bloc-piles, de le soulever ou de le

transporter. Le fait de transporter des outils

électriques avec le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou de

mettre sous tension des outils électriques avec

l’interrupteur en position de marche invite les

accidents.

Retirez toute clé de réglage pouvant être

attachée à l’outil avant de mettre l’outil

électrique sous tension. Une clé laissée

attachée à une pièce en rotation de l’outil

électrique pourrait causer une blessure.

Ne faites rien qui risquerait de vous faire

perdre l’équilibre. Veillez à toujours garder

un bon équilibre et un appui stable. Ceci

permet de mieux contrôler l’outil électrique dans

des situations inattendues.

Portez des vêtements appropriés. Ne portez

pas de bijoux ou de vêtements amples.

Gardez vos cheveux et vos vêtements à une

distance sufsante des pièces mobiles. Les

vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs

pourraient être attrapés par des pièces mobiles.

Si des dispositifs sont fournis pour le

raccordement d’accessoires d’extraction et

de collecte de la poussière, assurez-vous

qu’ils sont connectés et utilisés de façon

appropriée. L’emploi correct de l’accessoire

de collecte de la poussière peut réduire les

dangers associés à la poussière.

Ne laissez pas la familiarité résultant de

l’utilisation fréquente des outils vous inciter

à devenir complaisant(e) et à ignorer les

principes de sécurité des outils. Une action

négligente pourrait causer des blessures graves

en une fraction de seconde.

Utilisation et entretien de l’outil

électrique

N’imposez pas de contraintes excessives

à l’outil électrique. Utilisez l’outil électrique

approprié pour votre application. L’outil

électrique correct fera le travail plus

efcacement et avec plus de sécurité à

la vitesse à laquelle il a été conçu pour

fonctionner.

N’utilisez pas l’outil électrique si

l’interrupteur de marche/arrêt ne permet pas

de le mettre sous tension/hors tension. Tout

outil électrique qui ne peut pas être contrôlé

par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être

réparé.

Débranchez la che de la prise secteur et/

ou retirez le bloc-piles de l’outil électrique

(s’il est amovible) avant d’y apporter de

quelconques modications, de changer

d’accessoire ou de ranger l’outil électrique.

De telles mesures de sécurité préventives

réduisent le risque de déclenchement accidentel

de l’outil électrique.

Rangez les outils électriques qui ne sont

pas utilisés activement hors de portée des

enfants, et ne laissez aucune personne

n’ayant pas lu ces instructions et ne sachant

pas comment utiliser un tel outil se servir de

cet outil. Les outils électriques sont dangereux

quand ils sont entre les mains d’utilisateurs

n’ayant pas reçu la formation nécessaire à leur

utilisation.

Entretenez de façon appropriée les outils

électriques et les accessoires.

Assurez-vous que les pièces en mouvement

sont bien alignées et qu’elles ne se

coincent pas, qu’il n’y a pas de pièces

cassées ou qu’il n’existe aucune situation

pouvant affecter le fonctionnement de

l’outil électrique. Si l’outil électrique est

endommagé, faites-le réparer avant de vous

en servir à nouveau. De nombreux accidents

sont causés par des outils électriques mal

entretenus.

Gardez les outils de coupe tranchants et

propres. Des outils de coupe entretenus de

façon adéquate avec des bords de coupe

tranchants sont moins susceptibles de se

coincer et sont plus faciles à contrôler.

Utilisez l’outil électrique, les accessoires,

les mèches de perçage, etc. conformément

à ces instructions, en tenant compte

des conditions de travail et de la tâche à

accomplir. L’utilisation de l’outil électrique

pour des opérations différentes de celles pour

lesquelles il est conçu pourrait causer une

situation dangereuse.

Gardez les poignées et les surfaces de

préhension propres, sèches et exemptes

de toute trace d’huile ou de graisse. Les

poignées et les surfaces de préhension

glissantes ne permettent pas une manipulation

et un contrôle sûrs de l’outil dans des situations

inattendues.
