WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions 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
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutte-
red and poorly lit areas can result in acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in the presen-
ce of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may igni-
te the dust or 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 with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plu-
gs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors and refrigerators. There is an increa-
sed 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 misuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from he-
at, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Da-
maged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdo-
or use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If it is not possible to avoid the use of the
power tool in humid or wet areas, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
g) In case of change need or substitution of
the electric cable, it should be made by
an authorized and qualified technical ser-
vice. A damaged cable increases the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a po-
wer tool. Do not use a power tool while if
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 swi-
tch is in the off-position before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in power tools
that are switches on invite accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore switching on the power tool. A wren-
ch or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpec-
ted situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clo-
thing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clo-
thing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
