Handling the product
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire 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 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 exten-
sion 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 unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an 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 influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
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.
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 finger on the switch or ener-
gising 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 jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can
differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in
which the tool is used; and of the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger
time).

For safe use of your product
WARNING
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 the
battery pack 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. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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 ac-
cordance 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 in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
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 fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
