Safety instructions
The following pictograms are used in these instructions for use:
Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in
case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.
Indicates electrical shock hazard.
Contact with or inhalation of dust coming free during use (e.g. lead-
painted surfaces, wood and metal) can endanger your health and the
health of bystanders.Always wear appropriate protective equipment,
such as a dust mask. Always use proper dust extraction during use.
Wear safety goggles. Wear hearing protection.
Warning!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of
the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool. Save these instructions.
1) Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust of fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. 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.

Machine information
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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. Always use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit
breaker device.
3) Personal safety
a. 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.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.

Safety instructions
h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
4) Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended
could result in hazardous situation.
h. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service repair centre.
Do not use power tools that cannot be switched on and off.
i. Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched on. Always
switch off the tool and wait until it has come to a full standstill before
leaving.
j. If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with a special
mains cable. These can be obtained from the manufacturer or the
manufacturer’s customer service department. The mains cable may only be
replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s customer service
department or equally qualified persons.

Safety instructions
5) Battery tool use and care
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d. 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 of a fire.
e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritations or burns.
6) Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to repair
your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool.
b. Caution! The use of any accessories or additional tools other than those
recommended in this manual may lead to an increased risk of injury. Only
use original replacement parts.
