SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use!
IMPORTANT:
Read these instructions carefully before assembly and use. Improper use can cause
serious personal injury. Save these instructions for future reference.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read all the instructions carefully before use. Failure to follow all the instructions below can
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. The term "power tool" in all warnings below
refers to your mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tool.
Work area
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents
and injuries.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose
control of the equipment if you are distracted.
Electrical safety
The mains plug on the power tool must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
water enters a power tool.
Be careful with the power cord. Never use the cord to carry or pull the power tool, or to pull out the
plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
If using the machine outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords
intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Pay attention to what you are doing. Remember to use all necessary safety precautions and
common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of power tool and how it
is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear
protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
power cord. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch or connecting a tool to the mains
supply when the switch is in the ON position increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools before starting the power tool.
Spanners, keys or similar that are left in a rotating part of the power tool can cause personal injury.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have
better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is provided, this should be connected and used
correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related hazards.
