GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
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.
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.
