Safety
General power tool safety warnings
Warning: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow thewarnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Theterm “power tool” in thewarnings 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 or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in thepresence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite thedust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating apower tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match theoutlet. Never modify theplug 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.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is anincreased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering apower tool will
increase therisk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse thecord. Never use thecord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
thepower tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase therisk of electric shock.
e) When operating apower tool outdoors, use anextension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of acord suitable for outdoor use reduces therisk of electric shock.
f) If operating apower tool in adamp location is unavoidable, use aresidual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of anRCD reduces therisk of electric shock.

English
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating apower
tool. Do not use apower tool while you are tired or under theinfluence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. Amoment 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 theswitch is in theoff-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying thetool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on theswitch or energising power tools that have theswitch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning thepower tool on. Awrench or
akey left attached to arotating part of thepower tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of thepower 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, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for theconnection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force thepower tool. Use thecorrect power tool for your application.
Thecorrect power tool will do thejob better and safer at therate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use thepower tool if theswitch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with theswitch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect theplug from thepower source and/or thebattery pack from thepower
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce therisk of starting thepower tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of thereach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with thepower tool or these instructions to operate thepower tool. Power tools are
dangerous in thehands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect thepower tool’s operation. If damaged,
have thepower 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 thepower tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account theworking conditions and thework to be performed. Use of
thepower tool for operations different from those intended could result in ahazardous situation.
