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

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flam mable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
* The text used in the General Power Tool Safety Warnings section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable EN 62841-1 standard. This section con-
tains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to this tool.

• 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 adap -
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Un modified 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 refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• 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
