by people, who are familiar with it and are instructed
about the hazards. Independent modifications to the
machine exclude liability of the manufacturer for re-
sulting damage.
• The machine may be used only with original accesso-
ries and tools of the manufacturer.
• Despite intended purpose, certain residual risk factors
cannot be fully excluded. Due to the design and setup
of the machine, the following points may arise:
• Hearing damage when not using the necessary hea-
ring protection.
• Injuries to the eye when not using eye protection
• Any other use is considered improper. The manufactu-
rer does not assume liability for resulting damage; the
associated risk is solely borne by the plant operator.

Safety Notes

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Fail-
ure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery­operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
• 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. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is una-
voidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-

tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• 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 re-
duce personal injuries.
• 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.
• 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 per-
sonal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• 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 dust­related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or hese instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
