Read all safety warnings and all
WARNING
instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

Work area safety

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
 Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety
 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
 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.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
 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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
 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 elec-
tric shock.
 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.

Safety Notes

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

General Safety Rules

Personal safety

 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
 Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
 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.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
 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.
 If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
 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.
Working safely with this machine is
possible only when the operating
and safety information is read com-
pletely and the instructions contained
therein are strictly followed.
