Handling the product
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instruction 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-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) pow-
er tool.
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 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
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 conditions.
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 or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces 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 inattention while operating power tools may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
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 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.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or ener-
gising 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 and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent 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.

For safe use of your product
WARNING
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.
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 re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, 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 mis-
alignment 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 be-
fore 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.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or
a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause ex-
plosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the speci-
fied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
The vibration during actual use of the machine can differ from
the declared total value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used; and of the need to identify safety measures to pro-
tect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the machine is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger
time).

Vibration and cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenome-
non which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be
brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Expo-
sure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning,
followed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers.
The following precautions are strongly recommended be-
cause the minimum exposure which might trigger the ail-
ment is unknown.

to your health.
Repetitive stress injuries
It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of
the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause sore-
ness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to
the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities
may put you at a high risk for developing a repetitive
stress injury (RSI).
