WarninG !
Read the instructions in full. Any failure to comply with the instructions
listed in this document may lead to electric shock, fire hazards or
serious injury. The term "power tool" mentioned in all of the warnings
listed below refers both to the power tool when it is connected to the
mains (by the power cord) and when it operates on its battery (without
cables).

1) work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres or in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep onlookers and children away from the work area while ope-
rating a power tool. distractions can cause you to lose control of the
tool.
2) electrical safety
a) The power tool plug must correspond to the wall socket. do not
modify the plug in any event. do not use an adapter plug with power
tools that must be connected to the earth. The original plugs and
suitable wall sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as piping, radiators,
refrigerators, etc. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body
is connected to the earth.
c) do not expose power tools to rain or humidity. water entering a
power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Take care of the electrical cord. Never transport, pull or disconnect
the power tool by pulling on the cord. Keep the cord away from heat,
greasy material, sharp edges and moving parts. damaged or tangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) Only use an extension cord that has been designed for outdoor use
when operating the power tool outdoors. Using a cord for outdoor use
reduces the risks of electric shock.
3) personal safety
a) Stay alert and watch what you are doing. Use common sense
when operating a power tool. do not use the power tool when tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention can lead to serious injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear protective
goggles. when required, use safety equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat and hearing protection to reduce
the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional starting up. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion before you connect the tool.
Carrying power tools with a finger on the switch or connecting them
with the switch set to on can lead to injuries.
d) Remove any adjustment keys or wrenches before starting up the
power.
If a key or wrench remains attached to a moving part, there is a high
risk of injury.
e) do not bend too far over the tool. Keep your balance and a proper
footing at all times to keep closer control of the power tool in unexpec-
ted situations.
f) wear appropriate clothing. do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or hair are likely to be caught by moving parts.
g) If the tool is equipped with a connection for sawdust exhaust or
dust recovery systems, ensure that they are connected and used cor-
rectly. Using this equipment can reduce the risks connected to dust.
4) tool use and care
a) do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. This will provide better results and will be safer if the power
tool is used at the speed for which it is designed.
b) do not use the power tool if it cannot be started up and stopped
using the switch. A power tool that cannot be controlled by means of
the switch is hazardous and must be repaired.
c) disconnect the power tool from the mains or remove the battery
before making adjustments, changing accessories or storing it. These
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acci-
dentally.
d) Store power tools switched off and out of the reach of children.
do not give them to untrained individuals who have never used them
before and have not read and understood these instructions. Power
tools can be dangerous in the hands of these individuals.
e) Take care of you power tools. Check the misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of any parts and any other condition that
could hinder the working of the power tool. If the tool is damaged,
have it repaired immediately. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharpened. well maintained cutting to-
ols with sharp cutting edges are less like to bind and easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, disc pads, etc. in accordance with
these instructions and according to their characteristics, depending on
the task to be carried out and the working conditions. Using a power
tool for reasons other than those for which it was designed can be
dangerous.
5) repairs
Have your power tool repaired by a qualified technician who only uses
identical spare parts. This is vital in order to ensure that the power
tool can be used safely.
