GENERAL SAFETY
!
!
WARNING! Read all warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
The strict observance of these warnings with the use
of personal protective equipment , minimize the risk of
accidents but do not eliminate them completely.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “ power tool “ of the warnings refers to your
power tools operated by connecting to the network (wired)
or battery operated (cordless).
These instructions are for a power tool manufactured in
several models and versions; please read the instructions ca-
refully and apply them to the power tool in your possession.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep clean and well lit work area
. The areas cluttered
and / or poorly lit can cause accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of liquids, gases or inflammable
dusts
. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control
of the tool.
d) Keep in a safe place the nylon bags in the package.
The bags can cause suffocation and children should not
gain possession.
e) Use the tool in a location with adequate ventilation.
The ventilation is required for cooling the tool and to remove
impurities in the air caused by the machining .
f) Do not operate power tools outdoors in rain, fog,
storm, high and low temperatures or in wet or damp
environments.
The use of these terms may result in electric
shock.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool cabinet must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use an adapter with power
tools equipped with a grounded (earthed)
. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
If
your body is on the ground or grounded, the risk of electric
shock is increased.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or use in damp
locations.
The entry of water into a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not wear out the cable. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging from the wall outlet power
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
The use of an appropriate
cable reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a power supply protected by a residual current
circuit breaker (RCD).
The use of a residual current circuit
breaker (RCD) reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) The power supply must match the one specified on
the power tool.
An unsuitable power supply generates
malfunctions and accidents.
h) Check periodically the electrical supply cable. Not
crushed or trampled the power supply cable.
A damaged
power cord is a source of electric shock. If damaged pull
the plug and do not use the power tool .
i) In case of doubt in the electric field, rely on technician
with proven experience.
The use of electricity in an unsafe
manner is very dangerous for your and others’ safety.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert , check what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not operate the
tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use of personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust masks,
clothing sturdy, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet, safety
gloves and hearing protection reduce the chance of injuring
yourself.
c) Prevent accidental starting. Make sure that the switch
is in the off position before connecting the tool to the
mains and/or battery packs, picking up or carry it.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or connect them
in a network with the switch in the on position may cause
an accident .
d) Remove any adjusting key before turning the power
tool.
A key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and
balance.
This allows better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for connection to equipment
for extraction and collection of dust, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
The use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
h) The user is responsible to third parties for any accident
or damage to persons or property.
Improper use will cause
accidents and damage.
i) It is forbidden to use with bare feet or with wet feet/han-
ds
. The use in these conditions may result in electric shock.
l) The processing of materials hazardous to health must
be in compliance with applicable laws.
Some types of
powders and materials such as metals, wood , paint , etc.
are very harmful to health. Safeguard their own and others’
health protections and adopting suitable measures.
m) Do not touch any openings of exhaust air cooling.
The
air generated can contain residues of processing, small parts
harmful to the respiratory tract and eyes.
n) Do not cover or stick things on the cooling holes.
The
lack of ventilation of the power tool may cause fire. Access
to internal parts can cause damage to the tool and cause
electrocution.
o) Do not use the power tool if the protections (screens,
panels, doors, etc.) are opened, damaged or missing.
The
guards properly installed safeguard your health and provide
safe operation.
4) Use and maintenance of power tools
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the right tool for the
task to be performed.
The appropriate power tool allows
you to perform the work with greater efficiency and safety
without having to exceed the parameters of use envisaged.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
on and off properly.
Any power tool that can not be con-
