General

1. Keep work area clean

Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.

2. Consider work area environment

Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the
tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work
area well lit. Do not use the tool where there is
a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids and gases.

3. Keep children away

Do not allow children, visitors or animals to
come near the work area or to touch the tool
or mains cable.

4. Dress properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear
rubber gloves and non-slip footwear when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to keep long hair out of the way.

5. Personal protection

Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or flying particles. Wear ear protection
whenever the sound level seems uncomfortable.

6. Guard against electric shock

Prevent body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators). Electric safety can
be further improved by using a high-sensitivity
(30 mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).

7. Do not overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

8. Stay alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.

9. Secure workpiece

Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece.
It is safer and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.

10. Connect dust extraction equipment

If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.

11. Remove keys and adjusting wrenches

Always check that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool before operating
the tool.

12. Extension cables

Before use, inspect the extension cable and
replace if damaged. When using the tool
outdoors, only use extension cables intended
for outdoor use.

13. Use appropriate tool

The intended use is described in this instruction
manual. Do not force small tools or attachments
to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended. Do not force the tool.

Warning!

 The use of any accessory or

attachment or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended
in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.

14. Check for damaged parts

Before use, carefully check the tool and mains
cable for damage. Check for misalignment and
seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts,
damage to guards and switches and any other
conditions that may affect its operation.
Ensure that the tool will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Do not use the
tool if any part is damaged or defective.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Have any damaged or defective
parts repaired or replaced by an authorised
repair agent. Never attempt any repairs yourself.

15. Unplug the tool

Unplug the tool when it is not in use, before
changing any parts of the tool, accessories or
attachments and before servicing.

16. Avoid unintentional starting

Do not carry the tool with a finger on the on/
off switch. Be sure that the tool is switched off
when plugging in.

17. Do not abuse cord

Never carry the tool by its cord or pull it to
disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

18. Store idle tools

When not in use, tools should be stored in a
dry, locked up or high place, out of reach of
children.

19. Maintain tools with care

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better
and safer performance.
