3. Personal safety
a. Be attentive and aware of what you are doing; proceed with caution when
working with a power tool. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. One moment of carelessness while us-
ing the device can lead to serious injuries.
b. Always wear personal protective gear and safety goggles. The use of personal
protective gear, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protec-
tion, depending on the nature and use of power tool, reduces the risk of injuries.
c. Avoid unintentional startup. Make sure that the power tool is switched off
before you connect it to the power supply and / or the battery, or pick it up or
carry it. Having your finger on the switch while carrying the device or the device
switched on when you connect it to the power supply can lead to accidents.
d. Remove the adjusting tool or the wrench before you turn on the device. A tool
or a wrench left in a rotating device part can lead to injuries.
e. Avoid unusual body postures. Ensure that you are standing in a stable and safe
position and maintain your balance at all times. This will enable you to better
control the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothes,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught by moving parts.
g. If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, then ensure that such
devices are connected and used properly. Use of these devices decreases hazards
caused by dust.
h. Keep the handles dry and free of oil or grease. Fatty or oily handles are slippery
and result in loss of control.
i. Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting mechanism, especially when
you turn on the motor.
j. Attention! The cutting elements continue to rotate after the motor is switched off.
k. This device is not designed to be used by persons (including children) with limited
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lacking in experience and/or knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive instruc-
tions from this person as to how the device is to be used.
4. Use and treatment of the power tool
a. Do not overload the device. Use the tool that is designed for your work. With
the suitable power tool you will work better and with more safety in the specified
performance range.
