• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of
alethal electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigera‑
tors. There is an increased risk of alethal electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside apower tool, it will incre‑
ase the risk of alethal electric shock.
• Do not damage 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 alethal electric shock.
• When operating apower tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using
acord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of alethal electric shock.
• If operating apower tool in adamp location is unavoidable, use apower supply protected by
aresidual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of alethal electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating apower tool. Do
not use apower tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Amoment of inattention when operating apower tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as adust mask,
non‑skid safety shoes, ahard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk
of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on
position makes accidents more likely.
• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. Aspanner or key left
attached to arotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you
retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving
parts.
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they
are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust‑related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you
want to do. Apower tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which
it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. Apower tool with abroken switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who
are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature
that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repai‑
red. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
