General safety instructions
Carefully read, remember and keep these safety instructions
WARNING! In the use of electric machines and power tools, it is necessary to respect
and follow the following safety instructions for the reasons of protection against electric
shock, personal injury and danger of fire. The term “power tool” in the instructions below
refers both to mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Workplace
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas in the workplace invite
accidents. Store power tools that you don’t currently use.
Do not operate power tools in environments with danger of occurrence of a fire or explosion,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep unauthorised persons, especially children, away from the work area while operating
a power tool! Distractions can cause you to lose control over the performed activity. In no
event leave your power tool unattended. Keep the equipment away from animals.
Electrical Safety
Power tool plugs must match the mains socket outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Undamaged plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Damaged or fouled supply cables increase
the risk of electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a new power
cord which is available at the authorised service centre or the importer.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking
ranges and refrigerators. 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. Never touch the power tool with wet
hands. Never wash the power tool under running water or immerse it in water.
Never use the supply cable for other than intended purposes. Never use the cord for carrying
or pulling the power tool. Never unplug the plug from the outlet by pulling the cable. Keep
electric cables away from sharp or hot objects to prevent mechanical damage.
The power tool was designed to be powered solely by alternating electric current. Always
check if the electric voltage matches the information specified in the type label of the power
tool.
Never use power tool with damaged electric cable or plug or which has been dropped or is in
any way damaged.
