WARNING! Read all safety
notices, instructions, illustra-
tions and technical data that
have been provided with this
power tool. Omissions in the
compliance with safety directions
and instructions can cause electrical
shock, fire and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term „power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool).
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders

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 with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmo-
dified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
