WARNING!
►
The vibration level varies in accordance with
the use of the power tool and may be higher
than the value specified in these instructions
in some cases. There is a risk of underestima-
tion of the vibration load if the power tool is
used regularly in this manner. 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).

warnings
WARNING!
►
Read all the safety advice and instructions.
Failure to observe the safety advice 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
mains-operated (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
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable 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 physical contact with earthed or ground-
ed 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 the 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.
f)
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.
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 equipments. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
