• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging 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 extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• If operating a power tools in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
• 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 oper-
ating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position 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 energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected 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 connec-
tion 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 applica-
tion.
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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children 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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions 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 repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
