Safety information

WARNING. Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of
the warnings below refers to your mains-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Save these instructions

Work area

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable 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

• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors, 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
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

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 medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure
that the power tool is switched off before
you connect it to the mains supply and/or
the battery and whenever you pick up or
carry the tool. When carrying the tool with
your finger on the on/off switch or connecting
the tool to the mains supply with the switch
in 'ON' position, this may result in accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is 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 con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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 facili-
ties ensure that these are connected and
properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• 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.
• Pull the mains plug and/or remove the
battery before adjusting a tool, changing
accessories or putting the tool aside. This
precaution avoids the unintentional start of
the tool.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
Unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use, Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
