WARNING! Read all instructions!
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.

(corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
Save these instructions for future
reference!
Work area
2.1
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
2.2
a. 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.
b. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
2.3
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. 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 per-
sonal 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.
