WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to heed warnings and follow instruction may result
FR
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep safety warnings and intructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORKING AREA
▶Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
▶Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
▶Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
▶Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate.
▶Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
▶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.
▶Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶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 increase 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 an electric shock.
▶If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use

max 40ºC
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) 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 medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
▶Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
▶Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in
the on position makes accidents more likely.
▶Remove any adjusting key or spanners before turning the power tool
on. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
▶Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
▶Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
▶Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
▶Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
▶Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
▶Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate it. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
