WARNING: The vibration emission during 
actual use of the power tool can differ from the 
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which 
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece 
is processed.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect 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 tool is switched 
off and when it is running idle in addition to the 
trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided 
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions 
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
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. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
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 residual current device 
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces 
the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic 
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user. 
However, users of pacemakers and other similar 
medical devices should contact the maker of their 
device and/or doctor for advice before operating 
this power tool.
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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating 
powertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
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 
willreducepersonalinjuries.
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 
yourngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertools
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 
resultinpersonalinjury.
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 and clothing away 
from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewelleryor
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 
of tools allow you to become complacent and 
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action 
cancausesevereinjurywithinafractionofa
second.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect 
your eyes from injury when using power tools. 
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in 
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New 
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face 
shield to protect your face, too.
