Consider working area environment. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit and
dry. Try to prevent the device from getting wet or
being exposed to humidity. Do not leave it outside
overnight. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
∙ The power supply cable should be checked
regularly and, before using it, make sure the cable is
not damaged or worn out. If the cable is not in good
condition, do not use the appliance; take it to an
authorized service Center.
∙ When tool is used outdoor, only use an extension
cable that is suitable for outdoor use and which is
marked for this specific use. Keep it away from the
working area, from damp, wet or oily surfaces and away
from heat and flammable materials.
∙ Avoid any accidental starting: make sure that the
power switch (if present) is in the «off» position, before
plugging the tool in.
∙ Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on.
∙ Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the
tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
WARNING! During the use of certain
power tools, some dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer,
may occur.
Some of these chemicals are: lead from lead based
paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber and other dangerous
products. If dust is present, your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, any time you do pulverulent operations,
work in a well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
∙ If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the
device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary
repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
∙
If the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally, turn
it off and check for the cause immediately. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
∙ Always switch off the appliance and wait until
the device completely stops whenever you leave
the machine, before carrying out maintenance,
before changing accessories, checking, cleaning,
troubleshooting or working on the appliance.
∙ It is forbidden to move or modify any of the internal
parts of the device.
Specific safety rules
∙ Always turn on the tool before setting it against the
piece you are working on.
∙ Large variations in temperature can lead to
condensation on live part. Before use: give the machine
time to adjust to the temperature of the work area.
∙ Do not use machines, tools and recommended
accessories for works other than those for which they
are designed!
∙ Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices or a
vise to hold the workpieces securely.
∙ Do not use the equipment in areas where danger
of explosion exists.
∙ When not in use, during breaks, when doing
adjustment works, changing accessories or during
repair, always unplug the cable.
∙ When working: Do not allow the motor to staff
under load.
∙ Whenever possible, use a vacuum extractor for
dust collection.
∙ Remove dust and other waste matter in an
environmentally safe way.

specially designed for protection against lead paint dust
and fumes.
