2. GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECRRICAL SAFETY
•Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•Do not use the power tool in the rain,
where water is splashing, in a wet
place, or in a damp place. Using the tool
in these or similar conditions will increase
the risk of electric shock, dangerous mal-
function, and overheating. If operating a
power tool in a damp location is una-
voidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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.
•Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury. Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference. The term "power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
WARNING

7
tion, hand protector used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•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 energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in a
personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
•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.
•If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
•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 re-
paired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
•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.
•Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
•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. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR
WATER. Battery packs/batteries should
be collected, recycled or disposed of in an
environmental-friendly manner.
•PROTECT THE BATTERY AGAINST
HEAT, ALSO AGAINST CONTINUOUS
SUN IRRADIATION AND FIRE. There is
danger of explosion.
•CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IN A
TEMPERATURE RANGE 5°C (41°F) TO
40°C (104°F)

•DO NOT DISPOSE OF POWER TOOLS
INTO HOUSEHOLD WASTE. According
to the European Guideline 2002/96/EC
for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment and its implementation into national
right, power tools that are no longer usa-
ble must be collected separately and dis-
posed of in an environmentally correct
manner.
•DEFFECTIVE OR DEAD OUT BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES MUST BE RECY-
CLED ACCORDING TO THE GUIDE-
LINE 2006/66/EC.
•Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another type of battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•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 terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.

2. AVERTISSEMENTS DE
SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRAUX
RELATIFS AUX OUTILS
ÉLECTRIQUES
1. SÉCURITÉ DE LA ZONE DE TRAVAIL
•Maintenez la zone de travail propre et
bien éclairée. Des zones en désordre ou
sombres entraînent des accidents.
•N'utilisez pas les outils électriques
dans des atmosphères explosives,
telles qu'en présence de liquides, gaz
ou poussière inflammables. Les outils
électriques créent des étincelles qui
enflamment la poussière ou les vapeurs.
• Tenez les enfants ou les personnes qui
vous entourent à distance lorsque vous
utilisez un outil électrique.
Des distractions
peuvent vous faire perdre le contrôle de l'outil.
2. SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
• Les fiches des outils électriques doivent
s'adapter à la prise. Ne modifiez jamais en
aucune manière la fiche d'un outil. N'utilisez
aucune fiche d'adaptateur avec des outils
électriques mis à la terre (masse).
Des fiches
non modifiées et des prises adaptées réduiront
le risque de choc électrique.
•Évitez tout contact corporel avec les
surfaces mises à la terre ou à la masse,
telles que des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs.
Le risque de choc électrique est accru si
votre corps est mis à la terre ou la masse.
•N'exposez pas les outils électriques à
la pluie ou l'humidité. La pénétration
d'eau dans un outil électrique augmente
le risque de choc électrique.
•Ne détériorez pas le cordon. N'utilisez
jamais le cordon pour porter, tirer ou
débrancher l'outil électrique.
Maintenez le cordon à distance de la
chaleur, d'huile, de bords tranchants
et de pièces mobiles. Des cordons
endommagés ou emmêlés augmentent le
risque de choc électrique.
• Lorsque vous utilisez un outil
électrique à l'extérieur, utilisez une
rallonge adaptée.
L'utilisation d'une
rallonge adaptée à une utilisation à
l'extérieur réduit le risque de choc
électrique.
•N'utilisez pas l'outil électrique sous la
pluie, près de projections d'eau, dans
un endroit mouillé ou humide.
L'utilisation de l'outil dans ces conditions
ou des conditions similaires augmente le
risque de choc électrique, de
dysfonctionnement dangereux et de
surchauffe. Si vous êtes obligé
d'utiliser un outil électrique dans un
endroit humide, utilisez une
alimentation électrique protégée par
un dispositif différentiel à courant
résiduel (DDR). L'utilisation d'un DDR
réduit le risque de choc électrique.
3. SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
• Restez vigilant, regardez ce que vous
faites et faites preuve de bon sens
lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique.
N'utilisez pas un outil électrique lorsque
vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'influence de
drogues, alcool ou médicaments.
Un
moment d'inattention lorsque vous utilisez
des outils électriques peut entraîner des
dommages corporels graves.

SÉCURITÉ ET TOUTES LES CONSIGNES.
Un non-respect de ces avertissements et
consignes peut entraîner une électrocution, un
incendie et/ou des blessures graves.
Conserver
tous les avertissements et consignes pour
une consultation ultérieure.
Le terme "outil
électrique" dans les avertissements fait référence
à votre outil électrique raccordé au secteur (cordon
d'alimentation) ou fonctionnant avec une batterie
(sans fil).
AVERTISSEMENT

31
•Utilisez un équipement de protection
individuel. Portez toujours une
protection oculaire. L'équipement de
protection tel qu'un masque
antipoussière, des chaussures de
sécurité antidérapantes, un casque ou
une protection auditive, des protections
pour les mains, utilisé dans des
conditions appropriées réduira les
dommages corporels.
•Évitez tout démarrage involontaire.
Vérifiez que l'interrupteur est en
position Arrêt avant de brancher la
source électrique et/ou le bloc batterie,
de ramasser ou transporter l'outil. Le
transport d'outils électriques avec votre
doigt sur l'interrupteur ou la mise sous
tension d'outils électriques dont
l'interrupteur est en position Marche
entraîne des accidents.
•Retirez toute clé ou clavette de calage
avant de mettre l'appareil électrique
sous tension.
Un clé ou clavette toujours fixée sur une
pièce rotative de l'outil électrique peut
entraîner des dommages corporels.
•Ne tendez pas le bras trop loin. Restez
bien en équilibre sur vos pieds en
permanence. Ceci permet un meilleur
contrôle de l'outil électrique dans des
situations inattendues.
•Portez une tenue appropriée. Ne
portez pas de vêtements amples ni de
bijoux. Tenez vos cheveux, vêtements et
gants à distance des pièces mobiles. Des
vêtements amples, des bijoux ou des
cheveux longs peuvent se coincer dans
les pièces mobiles.
•Si des appareils sont fournis pour le
raccordement aux dispositifs de
récupération et d'extraction de la
poussière, vérifiez qu'ils sont
raccordés et correctement utilisés.
L'utilisation d'un dispositif de récupération
de la poussière peut réduire les risques
liés à la poussière.
4. UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D'UN OUTIL
ÉLECTRIQUE
•N'exercez aucune force sur l'outil.
Utilisez l'outil électrique adapté à votre
application. L'outil électrique adapté
exécutera le travail d'une manière plus
correcte et plus sûre à la vitesse pour
laquelle il est conçu.
•N'utilisez pas l'outil électrique si
l'interrupteur ne fonctionne pas
correctement. Un outil électrique qui ne
peut pas être commandé à l'aide de
l'interrupteur est dangereux et doit être
réparé.
•Débranchez la fiche de l'alimentation
électrique et/ou le bloc batterie de
l'outil électrique avant d'effectuer un
quelconque réglage, de changer
d'accessoire ou de ranger l'outil
électrique. Ces mesures préventives
réduisent le risque d'un démarrage
accidentel de l'outil électrique.
•Rangez des outils électriques à l'arrêt
hors de portée des enfants et ne
laissez pas des personnes non
familiarisées avec l'outil électrique ou
ces consignes utiliser cet outil. Les
outils électriques sont dangereux dans
les mains d'utilisateurs non formés.
•Entretenez les outils électriques.
Vérifiez que des pièces mobiles ne
sont pas désalignées ou coincées, que
des pièces ne sont pas cassées ou
vérifiez tout autre état qui pourrait
gêner le fonctionnement de l'outil
électrique. Si l'outil électrique est
endommagé, faites réparer l'outil
électrique avant de l'utiliser. Un grand
nombre d'accidents sont causés par des
outils électriques mal entretenus.
•Maintenez les outils de coupe affûtés
et propres. Des outils de coupe
correctement entretenus avec des bords
tranchants affûtés risquent moins de se
coincer et sont plus faciles à contrôler.
•Utilisez l'outil électrique, les
accessoires et les embouts, etc.
conformément à ces consignes, en

32
prenant en compte les conditions de
travail et le travail à réaliser. L'utilisation
de l'outil électrique pour des opérations
différentes de celles pour lesquelles il est
prévu peut entraîner une situation
dangereuse.
