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 safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. The correct use of safety
equipment such as a dust filter mask, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear
protection, reduces the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position
before connecting to the mains 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 all Allan keys/spanners etc. before switching on the power tool. A forgotten
spanner in a rotating part of the power tool can result in 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
your 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 available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
Using and looking after power tools
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work.
The correct power tool functions better and more safely when used with the
load for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power 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 plug from the mains and/or remove the battery from the power tool
before making any adjustments, replacing accessories or putting the 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
anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions to use the
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.
