 WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all 

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings 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.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark 

areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive 

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.

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify 

with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs 

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 

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 

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 an earth leakage circuit breaker. 

Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk 

of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use 

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment 

of inattention while operating power tools may result in 

serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. 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.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is 

the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the 

switch or energising 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 a 

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 

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair 

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust 

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection 

can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 

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 

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
