Dear Customer,
Please read these safety regulations and
operating instructions before using the tool.

Safety information:

General safety regulations:
IMPORTANT!
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 mains operated (corded)
power tool or battery operated (cordless)
power tool, also machines and electric units.
Only use the power tool for the purpose for
which it was intended, with the due attention
to the general safety and accident prevention
regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.) Work area
a) Keep work area clean, tidy 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 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 body contact with earthed or
grounded surface 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 the risk of 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.
Never bridge the switch.
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. Always keep your hands
away from moving (rotating) parts.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
