Safety instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read
the instruction manual.
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,
fi 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.
1 Work area
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.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your fi nger on the switch or plugging
in 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, jewellery
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.
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
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
