WARNING!
Read all safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical
data provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the
instructions below may result in electric shock, fire and/or

Workplace safety
-Keep your work area tidy and well lit. Clutter or unlit work
areas can lead to 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
-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 misuse the power cord, such as to carry or hang
the power tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep
the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled power cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
-When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
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
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
Safety
9

protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 result 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 energising
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 moving
parts.
-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.
Safety
10

-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.
Using and handling the power tool
-Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate
power tool for your work. The right power tool allows you to
work better and safer in the specified power range.
-Do not use any power tool that has a defective switch.
Power tools that can no longer be switched on or off are
dangerous and must be repaired.
-Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove any
removable batteries before making adjustments to the
device, changing any insert tool parts, or putting the
power tool away.
This precaution helps prevent
unintentional starting of the power tool.
-Keep power tools out of the reach of children when not in
use. Whoever is not familiar with the power tool or who
has not read these instructions should not be allowed to
use it.
Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced
persons.
-Power tools and insert tools must be subject to careful
maintenance. Check whether moving parts function
properly without jamming, and whether parts are broken
or damaged to such an extent that they impair the
functions of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired
before using the power tool.
Many accidents happen due to
poorly maintained power tools.
-Use power tools, insert tools, insert tool parts, etc.
according to these instructions. While doing so, take into
account the working conditions and the activity to be
Safety
11

performed. The use of power tools for applications other
than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
-Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free of oil
and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces hinder safe
operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen
situations.
Service
-Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
