SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.
Work area safety 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents. 2. 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. 3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety 1. 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.

2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic fields (EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However, users of pacemakers and other similar medical devices should contact the maker of their device and/ or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.
Personal Safety
1. 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.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

2 ENGLISH

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from injury when using power tools. The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in the USA. It is an employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of appropriate safety protective equipment by the tool operators and by other persons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 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 operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work gloves which may be entangled. The entanglement of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.
4. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

5. No utilice la herramienta donde no alcance. Mantenga los pies sobre suelo firme y el equilibrio en todo momento. Esto permite un mejor control de la herramienta eléctrica en situaciones inesperadas.
6. Use una vestimenta apropiada. No use ropa suelta ni alhajas. Mantenga el cabello, la ropa y los guantes alejados de las piezas móviles. Las prendas de vestir holgadas, las alhajas y el cabello largo suelto podrían engancharse en estas piezas móviles.
7. Si dispone de dispositivos para la conexión de equipos de extracción y recolección de polvo, asegúrese de conectarlos y utilizarlos debidamente. Hacer uso de la recolección de polvo puede reducir los riesgos relacionados con el polvo.
8. No permita que la familiaridad adquirida debido al uso frecuente de las herramientas haga que se sienta confiado e ignore los principios de seguridad de las herramientas. Un descuido podría ocasionar una lesión grave en una fracción de segundo.

9. Utilice siempre gafas protectoras para proteger sus ojos de lesiones al usar herramientas eléctricas. Las gafas deben cumplir con la Norma ANSI Z87.1 en EUA. Es responsabilidad del empleador imponer el uso de equipos protectores de seguridad apropiados a los operadores de la herramienta y demás personas cerca del área de trabajo.
Mantenimiento y uso de la herramienta eléctrica
1. No fuerce la herramienta eléctrica. Utilice la herramienta eléctrica correcta para su aplicación. La herramienta eléctrica adecuada hará un mejor trabajo y de forma más segura a la velocidad para la que ha sido fabricada.
2. No utilice la herramienta eléctrica si el interruptor no la enciende y apaga. Cualquier herramienta eléctrica que no pueda ser controlada con el interruptor es peligrosa y debe ser reemplazada.
3. Desconecte la clavija de la fuente de alimentación y/o retire la batería de la herramienta eléctrica, en caso de ser removible, antes de realizar ajustes, cambiar accesorios o almacenar las herramientas eléctricas. Tales medidas de seguridad preventivas reducirán el riesgo de poner en marcha la herramienta eléctrica de forma accidental.
4. Guarde la herramienta eléctrica que no use fuera del alcance de los niños y no permita que las personas que no están familiarizadas con ella o con las instrucciones la operen. Las herramientas eléctricas son peligrosas en manos de personas que no saben operarlas.
5. Dé mantenimiento a las herramientas eléctricas y los accesorios. Compruebe que no haya piezas móviles desalineadas o estancadas, piezas rotas y cualquier otra condición que pueda afectar al funcionamiento de la herramienta eléctrica. Si la herramienta eléctrica está dañada, haga que la reparen antes de utilizarla. Muchos de los accidentes son ocasionados por no dar un mantenimiento adecuado a las herramientas eléctricas.
6. Mantenga las herramientas de corte limpias y filosas. Si recibe un mantenimiento adecuado y tiene los bordes afilados, es probable que la herramienta se atasque menos y sea más fácil controlarla.
7. Utilice la herramienta eléctrica, los accesorios y las brocas de acuerdo con estas instrucciones, considerando las condiciones laborales y el trabajo a realizar. Si utiliza la herramienta eléctrica para realizar operaciones distintas de las indicadas, podrá presentarse una situación peligrosa.
8. Mantenga los mangos y superficies de asimiento secos, limpios y libres de aceite o grasa. Los mangos y superficies de asimiento resbalosos no permiten una manipulación segura ni el control de la herramienta en situaciones inesperadas.
9. Cuando vaya a utilizar esta herramienta, evite usar guantes de trabajo de tela ya que éstos podrían atorarse. Si los guantes de trabajo de tela llegaran a atorarse en las piezas móviles, esto podría ocasionar lesiones personales.
