DANGER!

When using the equipment, a number of safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety information with due care.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place
so that the information is available at all times. If
you give the equipment to any other person, hand
over these operating instructions and the safety
information as well. We cannot accept any liability
for damage or accidents which arise due to
failure to follow these instructions and the safety
information.

1. General power tool safety
warnings

WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below 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.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating 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. Unmodifi ed plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.

b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal safety
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 the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. 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 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 fi nger on

the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

d) 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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelery 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 these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

h) 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

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 turn it on and off . 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 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.

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 and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aff ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. 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) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diff erent
from intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

h) 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.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
