GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read all instructions. Failure to comply with
these 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 live
(corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for
the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious
personal injury.
1 Work area
1) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Untidy or dark
areas cause accidents.
2) Do not use in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks that can ignite dust or fumes.
3) Keep children and bystanders away during use. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2 Electrical Safety
1) Never modify the plug. Do not use adapters. Unmodified
plugs and corresponding sockets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
2) Avoid contact of the body with grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water will increase the risk of electric shock.
4) Never use the cord to carry, pull or unplug the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or mo-
ving parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
5) When using a power tool outdoors, use an appropriate
extension cord. Use of an outdoor power tool cord reduces
the risk of electric shock.
6) If use of a power tool in a wet location is unavoidable,
use a RCD protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3 Personal Safety
1) Stay alert and use common sense. Do not use while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention in its use can cause serious per-
sonal injury.
2) Always wear eye protection such as dust mask, non-slip
safety shoes, helmet or hearing protection. Proper equip-
ment will reduce personal injury.
3) Make sure the switch is in the off position. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the trigger or plugging
them in directly invites accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key before turning the power tool
on. A spanner left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool can cause personal injury.
5) Maintain posture and balance at all times. This allows
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress appropriately. Do not wear inappropriate clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
7) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure that they are connected
and used correctly. The use of these devices can reduce the
risks related to dust.
4 Electric tool, use with care
1) Do not force the tool. Use only for your application. The
right power tool will do the job better and safer at the right
speed.
2) Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3) Disconnect from power source and/or remove battery
pack before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4) Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these ins-
tructions to use it. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
5) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
operation. If damaged, it must be repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poor maintenance.
6) Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting ed-
ges are easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories, etc. according to these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be done. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions other than those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5 Use and Care of Battery Power Tool
1) Make sure the switch is off before inserting the battery.
Inserting the battery into the tools that have the switch on
causes accidents.
2) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is not suitable for a type of battery
may create a risk of fire.
3) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
teries. Use of any other battery may create a risk of injury
and fire.
4) When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects such as paper, paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, which can be con-
nected from one terminal to another. Short-circuiting the
battery terminals may cause burns or fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, the battery may leak fluid;
avoid contact. If the liquid comes in contact with your eyes,
seek additional medical help. Liquid injected into the bat-
tery may cause irritation or dangerous burns and garves.
