c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before 

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or 

storing power tools.

 Such preventive safety measures 

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 

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.

e. 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 

operation.

 If damaged, have the power tool repaired 

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly 

maintained power tools.

f.  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 

likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., 

in accordance with these instructions and in the 

manner intended for the particular type of power 

tool, 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 

hazardous situation.

5. Battery tool use and care
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before 

inserting battery pack.

 Inserting the battery pack into 

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the 

manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for one type 

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery pack.

c. Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs. 

Use of any other battery packs may 

create a risk of injury and fire.

d. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 

other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, 

nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can 

make a connection from one terminal to another

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns 

or a fire.

e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 

from the battery; avoid contact.

 If contact accidentally 

occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, 

additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Service
a. 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.

Additional safety instructions for rotary tools

WARNING.

 The use of an accessory or attachment, other 

than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may 

present a risk of personal injury.

  Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than that of 

the maximum no load speed shown on the rating label.

  Always wear eye, ear and breathing protection.

  Do not apply too much pressure when grinding,  

cutting, etc.

  Keep your hands well clear of the cutting devices.

  If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold  

your work.

  Always switch off before you put the tool down.

  Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

  Do not put pressure on the tool, such that it slows the 

motor down. Allow the attachments to work without 

pressure. You will get better results and you will be taking 

better care of your tool.

  Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

  Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.
