Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or attery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep ork area clean and ell lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate po er 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 a ay hile
operating a po er tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety
4. Po er tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any ay. Do not use any
adapter plugs ith earthed (grounded) po er
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact ith earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your ody is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose po er tools to rain or et
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 po er tool.
Keep cord a ay from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a po er tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suita le for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
9. If operating a po er 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, atch hat you are doing and use
common sense hen operating a po er tool. Do
not use a po er tool hile 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. Al ays ear
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 s itch
is in the off-position before connecting to po er
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 rench before
turning the po er 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 ena les etter control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
15. Dress properly. Do not ear loose clothing or
je ellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
a ay from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can e 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.
Po er tool use and care
17. Do not force the po er tool. Use the correct po er
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the jo etter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
18. Do not use the po er tool if the s itch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot e
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must e
repaired.
19. Disconnect the plug from the po er source and/or
the battery pack from the po er tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing po er tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
20. Store idle po er tools out of the reach of children
and do not allo persons unfamiliar ith the
po er tool or these instructions to operate the
po er tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
21. Maintain po er tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the po er
tool's operation. If damaged, have the po er tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused y
poorly maintained power tools.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to ind and are easier to control.
23. Use the po er tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance ith these instructions, taking into

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 ith the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suita le for one type
of attery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another attery pack.
25. Use po er tools only ith specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other attery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
26. When battery pack is not in use, keep it a ay from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, scre s or other small metal objects, that
