General safety instructions
Choice of tool
Use a suitable tool. Do not use low-power adaptable tools or devices for carrying out heavy work.
Do not use tools for purposes other than those for which they have been designed.
Maintenance and storage
Store your tools in a safe place. Unused tools must be stored in a dry, closed location out of the
reach of children.
Maintain your tools carefully. Maintain your own tools so that you can work better and in greater
safety. Observe maintenance indications as well as those relating to the changing of accessories.
Keep handles dry and free of oil and grease.
Check whether the tool is damaged. Before using the tool, always carefully check that all the
parts are operating correctly. Check that the parts move correctly, that they do not seize and that
other parts are not damaged. All the components must be installed correctly and fulfil the
conditions needed to ensure that the tool is in perfect working order. All safety devices, switches
or other damaged or defective parts must be appropriately repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician.
Warning! Be sure to use the tool and its accessories in accordance with the safety instructions.
Consider the range of options for the tool taking into account the working conditions and the task
to be carried out. It can be dangerous to use the tool for tasks for which it is not intended.
This tool complies with current safety regulations. All repairs must be carried out by qualified
professionals using original spare parts, failing which the tool may become dangerous to use
and the warranty will be nullified.
Safety instructions for the user
Keep children away. Do not allow other people to touch the tool; keep them away from your
working area.
Wear appropriate working clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery; they could be caught
in the moving parts.
When working in the open air, you are recommended to wear rubber gloves and shoes with
nonslip soles. If you have long hair, tie it back with a hair net.
Do not increase your range. Avoid adopting a posture which you find tiring; make sure you have
a firm footing and always maintain your balance.
Always concentrate. Look at your work, use your common sense and do not use the tool when
you are tired.
