WARNING!
► The vibration level specifi ed in these instruc-
tions has been measured in accordance
with the standardised measuring procedure
specifi ed in EN 60745 and can be used to
make equipment comparisons. The specifi ed
vibration emission value can also be used to
make an initial exposure estimate. The vibra-
tion level varies in accordance with the use of
the electric tool and may be higher than the
value specifi ed in these instructions in some
cases. The vibration load could be underesti-
mated if the electric tool is regularly used in
such a way.
NOTE
► For an accurate estimate of the vibration load
during a certain working period, the times
during which the appliance is switched off or
is running but not actually being used must
also be taken into consideration. This can
signifi cantly reduce the vibration load over
the total working period.

Safety Warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re 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.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl am-
mable 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. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
ed surfaces, 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
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 infl uence 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.
