SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructionsmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
Theterm"powertool"inthewarningsreferstoyour
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust.Powertoolscreatesparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.Thereisanincreasedriskofelec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5.
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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication.Amomentofinattentionwhileoperating
powertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. 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.
3. 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ngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.Thisenablesbettercontrol
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3ENGLISH
7. 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.
Power tool use and care
1. 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.
2. 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.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack 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.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5. Maintain power tools. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer.Achargerthatissuitablefor
onetypeofbatterypackmaycreateariskofre
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packsmaycreateariskofinjuryandre.
3. 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 termi-
nalstogethermaycauseburnsorare.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.Liquidejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied.Damagedormodiedbatteries

ADVERTENCIA: Lea todas las advertencias
de seguridad e instrucciones. Elnoseguirlas
advertencias e instrucciones indicadas puede ocasio-
nar una descarga eléctrica, un incendio y/o lesiones
graves.
Conserve todas las advertencias
e instrucciones como referencia
en el futuro.
Enlasadvertencias,eltérmino“herramientaeléctrica”
sereereasuherramientaeléctricadefuncionamiento
conconexiónalaredeléctrica(concableadoeléctrico)
o herramienta eléctrica de funcionamiento a batería
(inalámbrica).
Seguridad en el área de trabajo
1. Mantenga el área de trabajo limpia y bien ilu-
minada. Las áreas oscuras o desordenadas son
propensas a accidentes.
2. No utilice las herramientas eléctricas en
atmósferas explosivas, tal como en la presen-
cia de líquidos, gases o polvo inamables. Las
herramientaseléctricascreanchispasquepueden
prender fuego al polvo o los humos.
3. Mantenga a los niños y curiosos alejados
mientras utiliza una herramienta eléctrica. Las
distracciones le pueden hacer perder el control.
Seguridad eléctrica
1.
Las clavijas de conexión de las herramientas eléctricas
deberán encajar perfectamente en la toma de corriente.
No modique nunca la clavija de conexión de ninguna
forma. No utilice ninguna clavija adaptadora con
herramientas eléctricas que tengan conexión a tierra
(puesta a tierra). Lautilizacióndeclavijasnomodicadas
yqueencajenperfectamenteenlatomadecorrienteredu-
ciráelriesgodequeseproduzcaunadescargaeléctrica.
2. Evite tocar con el cuerpo supercies conecta-
das a tierra o puestas a tierra tales como tubos,
radiadores, cocinas y refrigeradores. Si su cuerpo
es puesto a tierra o conectado a tierra existirá un
mayorriesgodequesufraunadescargaeléctrica.
3. No exponga las herramientas eléctricas a la
lluvia ni a condiciones húmedas. La entrada de
agua en una herramienta eléctrica aumentará el
riesgodequeseproduzcaunadescargaeléctrica.
4. No maltrate el cable. Nunca utilice el cable
para transportar, jalar o desconectar la herra-
mienta eléctrica. Mantenga el cable alejado del
calor, aceite, objetos cortantes o piezas móvi-
les. Los cables dañados o enredados aumentan
el riesgo de sufrir una descarga eléctrica.
5.
Cuando utilice una herramienta eléctrica en
exteriores, utilice un cable de extensión apro-
piado para uso en exteriores.Lautilizacióndeun
cable apropiado para uso en exteriores reducirá el
riesgodequeseproduzcaunadescargaeléctrica.
6. Si no es posible evitar usar una herramienta eléctrica
en condiciones húmedas, utilice un alimentador prote-
gido con interruptor de circuito de falla a tierra (ICFT).
ElusodeunICFTreduceelriesgodedescargaeléctrica.
Seguridad personal
1.
Manténgase alerta, preste atención a lo que está
haciendo y utilice su sentido común cuando opere
una herramienta eléctrica. No utilice una herra-
mienta eléctrica cuando esté cansado o bajo la
inuencia de drogas, alcohol o medicamentos. Un
momentodedistracciónmientrasoperalasherramien-
taseléctricaspuedeterminarenunalesióngrave.

19 ESPAÑOL
2. Use equipo de protección personal. Póngase
siempre protección para los ojos.Elequipo
protector tal como máscara contra el polvo, zapa-
tos de seguridad antiderrapantes, casco rígido y
protecciónparaoídosutilizadoenlascondiciones
apropiadas reducirá el riesgo de lesiones.
3.
Impida el encendido accidental. Asegúrese de
que el interruptor esté en la posición de apa-
gado antes de conectar a la alimentación eléc-
trica y/o de colocar el cartucho de batería, así
como al levantar o cargar la herramienta. Cargar
las herramientas eléctricas con su dedo en el inte-
rruptor o enchufarlas con el interruptor encendido
hacequelosaccidentesseancomunes.
4. Retire cualquier llave de ajuste o llave de
apriete antes de encender la herramienta. Una
llavedeajusteollavedeaprietequehayasido
dejadapuestaenunapartegiratoriadelaherra-
mientaeléctricapuedeocasionaralgunalesión.
5.
No utilice la herramienta donde no alcance.
Mantenga los pies sobre suelo rme y el equilibrio
en todo momento.Estopermiteunmejorcontrolde
la herramienta eléctrica en situaciones inesperadas.
6. Use vestimenta apropiada. No use ropas suel-
tas ni joyas. Mantenga el cabello, la ropa y los
guantes alejados de las piezas móviles. Las
prendasdevestirholgadas,lasjoyasyelcabello
sueltopodríanengancharseenlaspiezasmóviles.
7. Si dispone de dispositivos para la conexión de
equipos de extracción y recolección de polvo,
asegúrese de conectarlos y utilizarlos debida-
mente.Hacerusodelarecoleccióndepolvopuede
reducir los riesgos relacionados con el polvo.
Mantenimiento y uso de la herramienta eléctrica
1. No fuerce la herramienta eléctrica. Utilice la
herramienta eléctrica correcta para su aplica-
ción. La herramienta eléctrica adecuada hará un
mejortrabajoydeformamásseguraalaveloci-
dadparalaquehasidofabricada.
2.
No utilice la herramienta eléctrica si el interrup-
tor no la enciende y apaga.Cualquierherramienta
eléctricaquenopuedasercontroladaconelinte-
rruptor es peligrosa y debe ser reemplazada.
3. Desconecte la clavija de la fuente de energía
y/o la batería de la herramienta eléctrica antes
de realizar ajustes, cambiar accesorios o guar-
dar las herramientas eléctricas. Dichas medidas
de seguridad preventivas reducen el riesgo de
quelaherramientaseinicieaccidentalmente.
4. Guarde la herramienta eléctrica que no use
fuera del alcance de los niños y no permita
que las personas que no están familiarizadas
con ella o con las instrucciones la operen. Las
herramientas eléctricas son peligrosas en manos
