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 fi e 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 anyway.
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 anyway damaged.
If an extension cord is used, always check whether its technical parameters match the information specified in the
type label of the power tool. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
If extension drums are used, these must be rolled out to prevent overheating of the cord.
If a power tool is operated in a damp location or outdoors, its operation is only permitted if connected to an electric
circuit protected by a residual current device <30 mA. Use of residual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only as the cutting or drilling tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own power cord during operation.
