WARNING!
► The vibration level varies depending on the
use of the power tool and may be higher
than the value specified in these instructions
in some cases. Regular use of the power tool
in this way may cause the user to underesti-
mate the vibration. Try to keep the vibration
loads as low as possible. Measures to reduce
the vibration load are, e.g. wearing gloves
and limiting the working time. Wherein 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).

Safety Warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions 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.

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) The mains plug of the power tool must fit
into the socket. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
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 outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
