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 (cable)
power tools or battery-operated (cableless) 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
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 cable suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) 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.

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 inat-
tention 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 a power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or energising 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 dust collection systems can can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

■ Do not overload the appliance. 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.
■
Never use an electrical hand hand tool that has a defective switch.
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 the battery pack
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 unused electrical hand tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
■ Maintain power tools. 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 be-
fore 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
diff erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
■ Inspect the surface to be cut carefully and remove any wires or other
obstructions.
■ Hold the power tool only by the insulated grips as the cutting blades
could come into contact with hidden power lines or the appliance's
own power cord. Contact between the blades and a live wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator
an electric shock.

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.
