GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in elec -
tric 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.
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo -
spheres, 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt -
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will re -
duce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur -
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car -
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt -
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will re -
duce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur -
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car -
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow -
er 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.
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 mea -
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow -
er 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 power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main -
tained 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 opera -
tions 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 pow -
er tool is maintained.

these instructions to use the machine. Local regu -
lations may restrict the age of the operator. When
