WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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) pow-
er tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool or machine.
2.4.1 Work area safety
● Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
● Do not operate the machine in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
● Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.4.2 Personal safety
Warning! The product produces an electromagnetic
field when in use. This field can in some circumstances
affect active or passive medical implants. If you have a
medical implant you should consult your doctor and/or the
manufacturer of the medical implant before using the prod-
uct to reduce the risk of serious or fatal personal injury.
● Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
● Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

machine on.
● A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
machine may result in personal injury.
● Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
