SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, 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

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

whichmayignitethedustorfumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

youtolosecontrol.

Electrical safety

1. 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.

2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-

tricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con­ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

7.

Power tools can produce electromagnetic elds

(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,
users of pacemakers and other similar medical
devices should contact the maker of their device and/
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.

Personal safety

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the o󰀨-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energisingpowertools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewelleryor

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. 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.

3 ENGLISH

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

8.

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.

9. Always wear protective goggles to protect

your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip­ments by the tool operators and by other per­sons in the immediate working area.

Power tool use and care

1. 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.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and o󰀨.Anypowertoolthatcannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check

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

Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorlymaintained

power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

arelesslikelytobindandareeasiertocontrol.

7. 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di󰀨erentfromthoseintendedcould

result in a hazardous situation.

8.

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.

9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-

mentofclothworkglovesinthemovingpartsmay
resultinpersonalinjury.

Battery tool use and care

1. 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.

2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs.Useofanyotherbattery
