Dear customer,
Please read the enclosed safety regulations and
operating instructions carefully before using the
unit.
WARNING!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term „power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool, also machines and electric
units. Only use the power tool for the purpose for which it
was intended, with the due attention to the general safety
and accident prevention regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.) Work area
Keep work area clean, tidy and well lit.
a)
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
b)
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
c)
ing a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.) Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
a)
modify the plug 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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
b)
face such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
c)
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
d)
rying, 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
e)
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3.) Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
a)
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a 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.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
b)
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce the risk of personal
injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
c)
the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Never bridge the switch.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
d)
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury. Always keep your hands away from moving
(rotating) parts.

e)
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
g)
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool.
h)
Apprentices may only operate the power tool when
they are aged over 16, when this is necessary for their
training and when they are supervised by a trained
operative.
4.) Power tool use and care

tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
