GENERAL POWER TOOL
WARNING
SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions 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-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
tions, illustrations and specica-
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing 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. Unmodied 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 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 inuence 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 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 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.
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 o. 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 aect 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 dierent 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 specied 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 specically 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,
2
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, flush 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 modied. Damaged or modied 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 tem-
perature 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 specied in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specied range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
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.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES
RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES
Lire toutes les consignes
de sécurité, consignes,
illustrations et spécications fournies avec cet
outil électrique. Ne pas suivre l’ensemble des règles
et instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un
incendie ou des blessures graves. Conserver les
règles et les instructions à des ns de référence
ultérieure. Le terme «outil électrique» gurant dans
les avertissements ci-dessous renvoie à l’outil électrique à alimentation par le réseau (à cordon) ou par
batterie (sans l).
SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
• Veillez à ce que l’aire de travail soit propre et
bien éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de lumière
favorisent les accidents.
• Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des at-
mosphères explosives, par exemple en présence
de liquides, gaz ou poussières inammables. Les
outils électriques produisent des étincelles risquant
d'enammer les poussières ou vapeurs.
• S’assurer que les enfants et les curieux se trou-
vent à une bonne distance au moment d’utiliser
un outil électrique. Les distractions peuvent causer
une perte de contrôle.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
• Les ches des outils électriques doivent cor-
respondre à la prise secteur utilisée. Ne jamais
modier la che, de quelque façon que ce soit.
Ne jamais utiliser d'adaptateurs de che avec
des outils mis à la terre. Les ches et prises non
modiées réduisent le risque de choc électrique.
• Éviter tout contact avec des surfaces mises à
la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des
cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de
choc électrique est accru lorsque le corps est mis
à la terre.
• Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à l'eau ou
l'humidité. La pénétration d’eau dans ces outils
accroît le risque de choc électrique.
• Ne pas maltraiter le cordon d'alimentation.
Ne jamais utiliser le cordon d’alimentation
pour transporter l’outil électrique et ne jamais
débrancher ce dernier en tirant sur le cordon.
Garder le cordon à l'écart de la chaleur, de
l'huile, des objets tranchants et des pièces en
mouvement. Un cordon endommagé ou emmêlé
accroît le risque de choc électrique.
• Pour les travaux à l’extérieur, utiliser un cordon
spécialement conçu à cet eet. Utiliser un cordon
conçu pour l'usage extérieur réduit les risques de
choc électrique.
• Si l’utilisation d’un outil électrique est inévitable
dans un endroit humide, utiliser une source
d’alimentation munie d’un disjoncteur de fuite
de terre. L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur de fuite de
terre réduit le risque de choc électrique.
SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE
• Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire
preuve de bon sens lors de l'utilisation de tout
outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser cet appareil en
cas de fatigue ou sous l’inuence de l’alcool,
de drogues ou de médicaments. Un moment
d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique
peut entraîner des blessures graves.
