Note: The vibration emission value specified in these
instructions was measured in accordance with an
En 60745 standardised measurement procedure
and can be used to compare tools. The vibration
emission value specified can also serve as a prelim-
inary assessment of the exposure.
Different uses of the power tool
give rise to different vibration emission values and
in many cases they may exceed the values specified
in these instructions. It is easy to underestimate the
vibration load if the power tool is used regularly in
particular circumstances.
Try to keep the vibration loads as low as possible.
Measures to reduce the vibration load are, e.g.
wearing gloves during use and limiting the working
time. All states of operation must be included (e.g.
times when the power tool is switched off and times
where the power tool is switched on but running
without load).
General power tool
safety warnings
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions 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-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.

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 plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) 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.
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 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

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 personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
