SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool and battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
2) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
5)
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RC D) protected
supply.
Use of RCD reduces the risk of
electrical shock.
Personal Safety
1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in personal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in the power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
This tool, as a complete unit with a battery pack,
satisfies appropriate IP Degrees of Protection
based on the IEC regulations.
Definition of IP code
IP5X: Ingress of dust is not totally prevented,
but dust shall not penetrate in a quantity to
interfere with satisfactory operation of the tool
or to impair safety (In case that the talcum
powder under 75
μ
m intrudes inside the tool).
IPX6: Water projected in powerful jets against
the tool from any direction shall have no
harmful effects (In case that, with a nozzle
of 12.5 mm inner diameter, approximately
100 L/min of normal temperature water is
injected to the tool for 3 minutes from 3 meter
distance).
LIMITED WARRANTY
The rating of IP56 qualifies this tool for the
minimum impact of water or dust, but not for
the assurance of performance in such condi-
