Failure to follow all instructionslisted below may result in electric shock, ire and/orserious injury.Save all warnings and instruc-tions for future reference.The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to yourmains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated(cordless) power tool.Work area safety1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered ordark areas invite accidents.2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres, such as in the presence of lammableliquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparkswhich may ignite the dust or fumes.3. Keep children and bystanders away whileoperating a power tool. Distractions can causeyou to lose control.Electrical Safety1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nevermodify the plug in any way. Do not use anyadapter plugs with earthed (grounded) powertools. Unmodiied plugs and matching outlets willreduce risk of electric shock.2. Avoid body contact with earthed or groundedsurfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges andrefrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-ditions. Water entering a power tool will increasethe risk of electric shock.4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord forcarrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edgesor moving parts. Damaged or entangled cordsincrease the risk of electric shock.5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use anextension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cordsuitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.6. If operating a power tool in a damp locationis unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reducesthe risk of electric shock.7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic ields(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,users of pacemakers and other similar medicaldevices should contact the maker of their device and/or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.Personal Safety1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and usecommon sense when operating a power tool.Do not use a power tool while you are tired orunder the inluence of drugs, alcohol or med -ication.
