The definitions below describe the level of severity for each signal word. Please read the manual
!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provid-
ed with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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 bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.

▶ Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flamma-
ble liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

▶ Electrical safety

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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.

▶ 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 medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
