NOTE
► 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 instructions
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
mains­operated (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 atmos­
pheres, 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 elec­
tric 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 entan­
gled 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 location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
re duces the risk of electric shock .

3 . Personal safety

a) 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 .
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non­skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries .
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off­position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents .
