∙ Inspect the entire tool to look for loose parts (e.g.
nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) and for any damage. Check
at frequent intervals if screws and bolts (if present) are
properly tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition. Repair or replace them, if necessary, before
using the tool. Serious injury to the operator and to the
bystanders could result if there’s any damage to the tool.
∙ While using the tool, dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewellery that could become
caught by the tool. Wear suitable working clothes. It
is recommended that legs and feet are covered, to
protect them from eventual flying debris. Do not work
barefoot or wearing open sandals. Long air should be
tided back.
∙ Keep handles and grips dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
∙ Use proper protective equipment. Use safety
glasses and safety gloves. Also use a dust mask during
pulverulent operations or if exhaust gases are present.
When necessary, use also non-slipping boots or shoes,
hardhat and earplugs. If the noise level exceeds 85
dB(A), ear protection is obligatory.
WARNING! Use personal protective
equipment! Safety devices and
personal protective equipment
protect your own health and the
health of others and ensure a trouble-
free operation of the tool.
∙ Do not start to use the tool if it is in an inverted
position or it is not in the right working order.
∙ Ensure that you have a good stand, while you
operate with the tool. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
∙ Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Before use, all foreign bodies must be removed from the
working area, also pay attention to foreign objects during
the operation.
∙ Do not force the tool.
∙ Only work in daylight or sufficiently good artificial light.
Never operate the tool without good visibility.
∙ Be careful not to drop the tool or hit it against
obstacles.
ATTENTION! Stay alert. Watch what you are doing.
Distraction can cause you to lose control. Use
common sense.
Electrical safety rules
ATTENTION! When using electrical tools, the
following safety instructions should be observed to
prevent the risk of electric shock, personal injury and
fire. Read and observe these instructions carefully
before using the tool.
∙ It is recommended for increased electrical safety to
use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping
current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD
every time you use it. Consult a reliable electrician.
WARNING! The use of an RCD or
other circuit breaker unit does not
release the operator from the safety
instructions and safe working
practices given in this manual.
∙ The main voltage must correspond to the one marked
on the labels and on this manual. Do not use other
sources of power.
∙ Before inserting the plug in the main socket, make
sure that the socket ratings are correct and correspond
to those indicated on the rating label on the appliance.
∙ Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. This increases
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
∙
CAUTION! Touching electrified parts
may cause death by electric shock or
burn.
Never move the appliance by pulling at the cables.
∙ Do not abuse the cord. Keep it away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
∙ Always guide the connection line safely.
∙ Do not use power tools near flammable liquids or gases.
∙ Always disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply before transporting it to other places.
CAUTION! The appliance should
always be switched off at the mains
before disconnecting any plug and
socket connector or extension cables.
∙ Never pass the appliance over the extension cable
while the tool is working. Make sure you always know
where the cable is.
∙ Do not wire an extension cable directly into your
device yourself. Instead, take the device to your nearest
authorized Service Centre.
