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, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions 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
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable 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.
Unmodified 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
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
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
Cd

electric shock.
9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (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 influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
11. Use personal protective equipment. Always

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 finger 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. Awrench ora 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 inunexpected situations.
15. 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.
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.
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 powertool 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
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the powertool accidentally.
20.
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.
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 powertools.
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,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.

Consignes de sécurité générales
pour outils électriques
MISE EN GARDE Veuillez liretoutes 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
référence future.
Le terme outil électrique
qui figure dans les
avertissements fait référence à un outil électrique
branché sur une prise de courant (par un cordon
d'alimentation) ou alimenté par batterie (sans fil).
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
présence de liquides, gaz ou poussières
inflammables.
Les outils électriques produisent
des étincelles au contact desquelles la poussière
ou les vapeurs peuvent s'enflammer.
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 fiches d'outil élec
trique sont conçues
pour s'adapter parfaitement aux prises de
courant. Ne modifiez jamais la fiche de
quelque façon que ce soit. N'utilisez aucun
adaptateur de fiche sur les outils électriques
avec mise à la terre.
En ne modifiant pas les
Cd
Ni-MH
Li-ion

19
fiches et en les insérant dans des prises de
courantpour lesquelles elles ont étéconçues vous
réduirez les risques dechoc électrique.
5. Évitez tout contact corporel avec les surfaces
mises à la terre, telles que les tuyaux,
radiateurs, 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
électrique 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'extérieur, utilisez un cordon prolongateur
prévu à cette fin. 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'alimentation 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
utilisez 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
personnelle. Portez toujours un protecteur
pour la vue. Les risquesde 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 protectiond'oreilles.
12. Évitez les démarrages accidentels.
Assure z-vous que linterrupteur soit en
position d'arrêt avant de brancher l'outil à la
prise électrique et/ou au bloc-piles, avant de
prendre ou de transporter loutil. Vous ouvrez la
porte aux accidents si vous transportez les outils
électriques avec le doigt sur linterrupteur ou si
vous les branchez alors que linterrupteur est en
position de marche.
13.
Retirez toute clé de réglage ou de serrage
avant de mettre l'outil sous tension.
Toute clé
laissée en place sur une pièce rotative de l'outil
électrique peut entraîner une blessure.
14.
Maintenez une bonne position. Assurez-vous
d'une bonne prise au sol et d'une bonne
position d'équilibre en tout temps.
Cela vous
permettra d'avoir une meilleure maîtrise de l'outil
dans les situations imprévues.
15.
Portez des vêtements adéquats. Ne portez ni
vêtements amples ni bijoux. Vous devez
maintenir cheveux, vêtements et gants à
l'écart des pièces en mouvement.
Les pièces
en mouvement peuvent happer les vêtements
amples, les bijoux et les cheveux longs.
16.
Si des accessoires sont fournis pour
raccorder un appareil d'aspiration et de
collecte de la poussière, assurez-vous qu'ils
sont correctement raccordés et qu'ils sont
utilisés de manière adéquate.
L'utilisation d'un
appareil d'aspiration permet de réduire les risques
liés à la présence de poussière dans l'air.
Utilisation et entretien des outils électriques
17.
Ne forcez pas l'outil électrique. Utilisez l'outil
électrique adéquat suivant le type de travail à
effectuer.
Si vousutilisez l'outil électrique adéquat
et respectez le régime pour lequel il a été conçu, il
effectuera un travail de meilleure qualité et de
façon plus sécuritaire.
18.
N'utilisez pas l'outil électrique s'il n'est pas
possible de mettre sa gâchette en position de
marche et d'arrêt.
Un outil électrique dont
l'interrupteur est défectueux représente un danger
et doit être réparé.
19.
Débranchez la fiche de la source
d'alimentation et/ou retirez le bloc-piles de
l'outil électrique avant d'effectuer tout réglage,
de changer un accessoire ou de ranger l'outil
électrique.
De telles mesures préventives
réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de
l'outil électrique.
20.
Après l'utilisation d'un outil électrique,
rangez-le hors de portée des enfants et ne
laissez aucune personne l'utiliser si elle n'est
pas familiarisée avec l'outil électrique ou les
présentes instructions d'utilisation.
Les outils
électriques représentent un danger entre les
mains de personnes qui n'en connaissent pas le
mode d'utilisation.
21. Veillez à lentre tien
des outils électriques.
Assurez-vous que les pièces mobiles ne sont
pa s désa lignées ou coincée s, quaucune pièce
nest cassée e t que lout
il électrique na subi
aucun dommage affectant son bon
fonctionnement. Le cas échéant, faites réparer

20
l'outil électrique avant de l'utiliser. De
nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils
électriques mal entretenus.
22. Maintenez les outils tranchants bien aiguisés
et propres. Un outil tranchant dont l'entretien est
effectué correctement et dont les bords sont bien
aiguisés risquera moins de secoincer et sera plus
facile à maîtriser.
23. Utilisez l'outil électrique, ses accessoires, ses
embouts, etc., en respectant les présentes
instructions, en tenant compte des conditions
de travail et du type de travail à effectuer.
L'utilisation d'un outil électrique à des fins autres
que celles prévues peut entraîner une situation
dangereuse.
Utilisation et entretien des outils alimentés par
batterie
24. Pour recharger, utilisez uniquement le
chargeur spécifié par le fabricant. L'utilisation
d'un chargeur conçu pour un type donné de
bloc-piles comporte un risque d'incendie lorsqu'il
est utilisé avec un autre type de bloc-piles.
25. N'utilisez un outil électrique qu'avec le
bloc-piles conçu spécifiquement pour cet outil.
Il y a risque de blessure ou d'incendie si un autre
bloc-piles est utilisé.
26. Lorsque vous n'utilisez pas le bloc-piles,
rangez-le à l'écart des objets métalliques tels
que trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés,
clous, vis ou autres petits objets métalliques
qui risquent d'établir une connexion entre les
bornes. La mise en court-circuit des bornes de
batterie peut causer des brûlures ou un incendie.
27. Dans des conditions d'utilisation inadéquates
de la batterie, il peut y avoir fuite d'électrolyte;
évitez tout contact avec ce liquide. En cas de
contact accidentel, rincez avec beaucoup
deau. Si le liquide pénètre dans vos yeux, il
faut aussi consulter un médecin. L'électrolyte
qui s'échappe de la batterie peut causer des
irritations ou des brûlures.
Réparation
28. Faites réparer votre outil électrique par un
réparateur qualifié qui utilise des pièces de
rechange identiques aux pièces d'origine. Le
maintien de la sûreté de l'outil électrique sera ainsi
assuré.
29. Suivez les instructions de lubrification et de
changement des accessoires.
