General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions 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
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
10. 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.
11. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
15. 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.
16. 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.

3ENGLISH
Power tool use and care
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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 pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23. 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
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Service
28. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
29. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

Consignes de sécurité générales
pour outils électriques
MISE EN GARDE Veuillez lire toutes les mises en
garde de sécurité et toutes les instructions. L'ignorance
des mises en garde et des instructions comporte un risque
de choc électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessure grave.
Conservez toutes les mises en
garde et instructions pour réfé-
rence future.
Le terme « outil électrique » qui gure dans les avertis-
sements fait référence à un outil électrique branché sur
une prise de courant (par un cordon d'alimentation) ou
alimenté par batterie (sans l).
Sécurité de la zone de travail
1. Maintenez la zone de travail propre et bien
éclairée. Les zones de travail encombrées ou
sombres ouvrent grande la porte aux accidents.
2. N'utilisez pas les outils électriques dans les
atmosphères explosives, par exemple en pré-
sence de liquides, gaz ou poussières inam-
mables. Les outils électriques produisent des
étincelles au contact desquelles la poussière ou
les vapeurs peuvent s'enammer.
3. Assurez-vous qu'aucun enfant ou curieux ne
s'approche pendant que vous utilisez un outil
électrique. Vous risquez de perdre la maîtrise de
l'outil si votre attention est détournée.
Sécurité en matière d'électricité
4. Les ches d'outil électrique sont conçues pour
s'adapter parfaitement aux prises de courant.
Ne modiez jamais la che de quelque façon
que ce soit. N'utilisez aucun adaptateur de
che sur les outils électriques avec mise à
la terre. En ne modiant pas les ches et en les
insérant dans des prises de courant pour les-
quelles elles ont été conçues vous réduirez les
risques de choc électrique.
5. Évitez tout contact corporel avec les surfaces
mises à la terre, telles que les tuyaux, radia-
teurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Le risque
de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps se
trouve mis à la terre.
6. N'exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie
ou à l'eau. La présence d'eau dans un outil élec-
trique augmente le risque de choc électrique.
7. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. N'utilisez jamais
le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher
l'outil électrique. Maintenez le cordon à l'écart
des sources de chaleur, de l'huile, des objets à
bords tranchants et des pièces en mouvement.
Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé lorsque
les cordons sont endommagés ou enchevêtrés.
8. Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à l'ex-
térieur, utilisez un cordon prolongateur prévu
à cette n. Les risques de choc électrique sont
moindres lorsqu'un cordon conçu pour l'extérieur
est utilisé.
9. Si vous devez utiliser un outil électrique dans
un endroit humide, utilisez une source d'ali-
mentation protégée par un disjoncteur de fuite
à la terre. L'utilisation d'un disjoncteur de fuite à la
terre réduit le risque de choc électrique.
Sécurité personnelle
10. Restez alerte, attentif à vos mouvements et
faites preuve de bon sens lorsque vous utili-
sez un outil électrique. Évitez d'utiliser un outil
électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou si vous avez
pris une drogue, de l'alcool ou un médicament.
Un moment d'inattention pendant l'utilisation d'un
outil électrique peut entraîner une grave blessure.
11. Portez des dispositifs de protection person-
nelle. Portez toujours un protecteur pour la
vue. Les risques de blessure seront moins élevés
si vous utilisez des dispositifs de protection tels
qu'un masque antipoussières, des chaussures à
semelle antidérapante, une coiffure résistante ou
une protection d'oreilles.
