Safety information

WARNING. Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
Save these instructions
Work 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.
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. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
ed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, rang-
es 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 outdoor extension cord suitable for out-
door 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 pow-
er 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 hear-
ing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before plugging in. Carry-
ing 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 be-
fore turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is 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, jewel-
lery 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 prop-
erly 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 danger-
ous 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 Unfamil-
iar 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 misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use, Many acci-
