1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term ’’power
tool’’ in all of the warnings listed below refers to your

operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe
place for future use.
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
and 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. Power tools plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tool. 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 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.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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.
g. 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.
4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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 starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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
