Work area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, 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 operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
electrical safety
• 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. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
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 condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, 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
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• 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.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached 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 jewel-
lery. 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 that
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool 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 any 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 the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use, Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair personnel using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
