1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
FOR ALL BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS
Read all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) 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 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 oper-
ating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
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 protec-
tion.
Safety equipment such as 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 inserting battery pack.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a power tool with the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance 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, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure 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.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 pow-
er tools operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep the tool bits clean.
Well cared for tool bits are
easier to use and can be controlled better.
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 con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
