Personal safety
Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your 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 personal 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
cord and/or the battery, or lifting/carrying the tool. 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 Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the power tool. Allen keys, or the like, left in a
rotating part of a 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 suitable 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 problems.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job
better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that
cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently
starting the power tool.
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who
is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous
if used by inexperienced people.
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Make sure that moving parts are properly adjusted and
do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could
affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use
power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.
Service
The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure
that the power tool remains safe to use.
Special safety instructions
Always take basic safety precautions (including the following) when using power tools to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Do not touch the power cord with any part of the body.
Only use approved and correctly dimensioned extension cords.
Never use the tool for work for which it is not suited. This can result in personal injury and/or
material damage.
Only use identical spare parts when servicing. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage
that arises as a result of using other spare parts.
Only use accessories that can withstand with the maximum speed of the tool. Accessories with a
lower maximum speed can break or shatter.
