General safety instrucions for electrical power tools
Do not work with the power tool in a hazar-
dous environment where are flammable li-
quids, gases or dusts. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a machine. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modifythe plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs witheart-
hed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs andmatching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or groun-
ded surfaces,such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body ise-
arthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. . Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electricshock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying,pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord awayfrom heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Dama-
gedor entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extensioncord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitablefor outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable,use a residual current
device (RCD) protectedsupply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use commonsense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a powertool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs,alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operatingpower tools may

Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eyeprotection. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask,non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce perso-
nal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is inthe off-position before connec-
ting to power sourceand/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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turningthe power tool on. Remove any
adjusting key or wrench before turningthe
power tool on.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance atall times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extractionand collection faci-
lities, ensure these are connectedand pro-
perly used. Use of dust collection can redu-
cedust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care

rect power toolfor your application. The
correct power tool will do thejob better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn iton and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled withthe switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or thebattery pack from the
power tool before making anyadjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
powertools. Such preventive safety measu-
res reduce the risk ofstarting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children anddo not allow persons unfami-
liar with the power tool orthese instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power-
