2.0 Safety warnings
Please read the entire instructions. Failure to
follow the instructions below may result in
causing electric shock, fire and / or serious
injuries.
Keep all safety information and instructions for
future reference.
In this safety information the term "power tool" refers
to mains operated power tools (with power cord) and
battery operated power tools (without power cord).
2.1 Workplace
1.
Keep your work area clean and tidy. Cluttered
and dark working areas are accident-prone.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, where flammable liquids, gases
or dust are present. Power tools generate
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and other people away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can be a
reason for losing control of the tool.
2.2 Electrical safety
4.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter
plugs
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
5.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces
such
as
pipes,
refrigerators. If your body is grounded, the risk
of an electric shock increases.
6.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water that enters a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7.
Do not abuse the cord; do not use the cord to
carry or hang up the power tool or to unplug the
power tool from the mains. Keep the power cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the power
tool's moving parts. Damaged or tangled power
cords will increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use only
extension cords that are approved for outdoor
use. The use of an extension cord that is
adapted for out- door use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
9.
If working with the power tool in a damp location
cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter. The use of a ground fault circuit

grounded
devices.

interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
Always check whether the mains voltage
complies with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the power tool.
2.3 Personal safety
10. Stay alert! Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use the power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
11. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear safety glasses. Safety equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat
or ear protection depending on the type and use
of the power tool will reduce personal injuries.
12. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the
power tool is switched off before connecting it
to the power supply and/or battery, picking it up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invite accidents.
13. Remove any adjusting tool or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
which has been left attached to a rotating part
may induce personal injury. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables you to better control the power tool
in situations which cannot be foreseen.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
15. If dust extraction and collection units are
installed, make sure that these are connected
and properly used. Using such devices reduces
hazards associated with dust.

2.4 Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. With the correct
power tool you will do the job better and safer at
the specified power rate.
17. Do not use the power tool if it has a defective
switch. A power tool, which cannot be turned on
or off with the switch, is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Unplug the power cord from the outlet and/or
remove
adjustments to the tool, changing accessories,
or storing the power tool. Such preventive
safety measures prevent starting the tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of children's reach.
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
