Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications pro-
vided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool .
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents .
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes .
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control .
2. Electrical safety
a. 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 .
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded .
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock .
d. 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 or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock .
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduc-
es the risk of electric shock .
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock .

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
3. Personal safety
a. 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, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury .
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries .
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents .
d. 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 .
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situa-
tions .
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts .
g. 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 .
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second .
