General safety instruction
Warning!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
“power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool. Save these instructions.
1) Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust of 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 which earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. 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.
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 reduces the risk of
electric shock. Always use tool in conjunction with a residual
circuit breaker device.

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, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in 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 control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
4) Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.

d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from intended could result
in hazardous situation.
h. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service
repair centre. Do not use power tools that cannot be switched
on and off.
i. Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched
on. Always switch off the tool and wait until it has come to a
full standstill before leaving.
j. If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with
a special mains cable. These can be obtained from the
manufacturer or the manufacturer’s customer service
department. The mains cable may only be replaced by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer’s customer service
department or equally qualified persons.
5) Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement
parts to repair your power tool. This will ensure proper
functioning of the power tool.
b. Caution! The use of any accessories or additional tools other
than those recommended in this manual may lead to an
increased risk of injury. Only use original replacement parts.
