General safety instructions
Do not overload power tools. The power tool will function better and more safely if it operates
at speeds for which it was designed. Use correct tools that are designated for the given
activity. The correct tool works better and more safely.
Do not use power tools that cannot be turned on safely and cannot be turned on and off
with a control switch. Using this type of tool is dangerous. Faulty switches must be repaired at
a certified service centre.
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before you start setting, changing accessories or
maintenance. This measure will prevent the risk of accidental start-up.
Store unused power tools so that they are out of the reach of children and unauthorized
persons. Power tools in the hands of inexperienced users can be dangerous. Store power
tools in a dry and safe place.
Keep power tools in good condition. Regularly check the setting of moving parts and their
movability. Check if the protective cover or other parts that can limit the safe functioning of the
power tool are not damaged. If the tool is damaged, ensure its proper repair before the next
use. Many injuries are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained and sharpened tools make work
easier, limit the risk of injury and work with them is much more easily controlled. Using other
accessories than those listed in the instruction manual can cause damage to the tool and
can cause injury.
Use power tools, accessories, work tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in a
way that is described for the specific power tool and with regard to the given working
conditions and the type of job. Using tools for other purposes than those intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
Using cordless tools
Before inserting the battery, make sure that the switch is in the “0-off” position. Inserting the
battery into a running tool can cause dangerous situations.
To charge the battery, only use chargers that are specified by the manufacturer. Using a
charger for a different kind of battery can cause damage to the battery and result in fire.
Only use batteries that are designated for the given tool. Using other batteries can cause
injury or result in fire.
If the battery is not used, store it away from metal objects such as clamps, wrenches, screws
and other small metal objects that could cause the connection of one battery contact with the
other. Short-circuiting the battery can cause injury, burns or fire.
Handle batteries with care. In the case of improper care, chemical substances can leak from
the battery. Avoid coming into contact with this substance and if you do come into contact
with it, rinse the affected area under running water. If the chemical substance comes into
contact with the eye, immediately seek out medical attention. The chemical substance from
the battery can cause serious injury.
