• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, 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.
• Do not misuse the connecting cable by
using it to carry the power tool, to hang
it up or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the connecting cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled
connecting cable increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors,
only use extension cords suitable for
outdoor use. The use of an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electrical shocks.
• If operating a power tools in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal 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. If you have your finger on the switch
when moving the power tool or have it
switched on when connecting to the
power supply, this may lead to 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 per-
sonal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and
clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
• 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 and accessories.
Check for misalignment 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
