and before taking or transporting it. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
connecting them to the electric power supply
with the switch in the on position can cause
accidents.
d) Remove any regulation keys before turning
on the power tool. Any key or spanner left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may cause personal injuries.
e) Do not lose your balance. Always keep an
appropriate position and balance. This allows
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get
entangled in the moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for connection to
equipment for extraction and collection of
dust, ensure that these are correctly con-
nected and properly used. The use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) The user is responsible for any third parties,
for any accident or damage to people or their
property. Improper use causes accidents
and damage.
i) Never use with bare or wet feet/hands. Use
under these conditions may result in electric
shock.
l) The processing of materials which are
hazardous to health must be in compliance
with applicable laws. Some types of dusts
and materials such as metals, wood, paints,
etc. are very harmful to health. Protect your
and other people’s health using suitable
protections and devices.
m)Do not touch any air cooling exhausts or vents
on the tool. The air generated can contain
harmful residues, and small parts which are
a hazard to the eyes and the respiratory tract.
n) Do not cover or insert anything in the cooling
slots. Unsuitable ventilation of the power tool
may start a fire. Accessing the internal parts
may damage the tool and cause electrocution.
o) Do not use the power tool if the protections
(screens, panels, doors, etc.) are open, da-
maged or missing. Correctly installed guards
protect your health and allow for safe use.
4) Operation and maintenance of power tools
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the task being performed. The appro-
priate power tool allows you to perform the
work with the greatest efficiency and safety
without straining to exceed the purposes for
which the tool is designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn on and off properly. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled by its switch is
dangerous and must be repaired before use.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power supply
and/or from the power tool battery unit be-
fore any adjustment, replace the accessories
or store the power tools. These preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store unused power tools out of reach of
children and do not allow them to be used
by any unskilled people or who are not
aware of these instructions. Power tools are
dangerous if used by unskilled people.
e) Carry out the required maintenance on power
tools. Check any possible misalignment or
locking of the moving parts, any breakage of
the parts and any other condition that may
affect the operation of power tools. If there
is any damage, the power tool must be fixed
before use. Numerous accidents are caused
by improper maintenance of power tools.
f) Use the power tool, accessories and abrasive
parts, etc. according to these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the operation to be performed. The use
of the power tool for operations other than
those for which it is intended may cause
dangerous situations.
g) Maintain a safe distance from moving parts.
Touching moving parts causes serious inju-
ry.
h) Do not modify the power tool. Taking off,
replacing or adding components not included
in the instructions is prohibited and causes
the warranty to become null and void.
i) Do not leave the power tool switched on.
Turn it off before leaving it unattended in
order to prevent any accidents.
l) The power tool must never come into contact
with water or other liquids. Use under these
conditions may result in electric shock.
5) Service
a) Only allow qualified technicians to perform
maintenance on the power tools, using only
original spare parts. This will help to ensure
the safety of the power tool.
b) Do not attempt to repair the power tool or
to access internal parts. Repairs carried out
