• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric 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
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock�
• 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 elec-
tric shock�
•
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� NOTE! The term "residual current
device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)"�
• Warning! Never touch the exposed metal sur-
faces on gearbox, shield, and so on because touch-
ing metal surfaces will be interfered with the elec-
tromagnetic wave, thus causing potential injury or
accidents�
Personal safety
• 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 influence 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, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
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 fin -
ger 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 at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury�
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations�
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. 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 dust-related hazards�
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles � A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second�
• Warning! Power tools can produces an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or passive medical
implants� To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,
we recommend persons with medical implants to con-
sult their physician and the medical implant manufac-
turer before operating this power tool�
Power tool use and care
• The persons with lowered psychophysical or men-
tal aptitudes as well as children can not operate the
power tool, if they are not supervised or instructed
about use of the power tool by a person responsible
for their safety�
• 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
controlled 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 be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools � Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally�
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these 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
maintained power tools�
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control�
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation�
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations�
• Note that when you operate a power tool, please
hold the auxiliary handle correctly, which is helpful
when controlling the power tool� Therefore, proper
holding can reduce the risk of accidents or injuries�
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained�
• Follow instruction for lubricating and changing ac-
cessories�
