Place of work
The place of work must be well lit and kept clean. Disorder and weak light may be causes of accidents. Do not work indoors.
The exhaust gases and fuel vapours are toxic. Poisoning them can lead to accidents and cause serious injury. Prevent access of
children and unauthorized persons to the place of work. Loss of concentration may cause loss of control of the tool.
Work safety
Do not modify the tool or accessories. All accessories and tool parts must be clean, undamaged, in good technical state and
suitable to be used with that type of the tool. Any contact with grounded surfaces must be avoided (pipes, heaters and refrigerators).
Grounding of the body increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose tools to atmospheric precipitation or humidity. Water and
humidity inside the tool increases the risk of damage and injury. Do not overload the tool. Use of tools and accessories appropriate
to the type of work, then work it is more e ffi cient and safer. When you borrow, sell or otherwise transfer the tool to another person,
always attach the manual to the tool.
Personal safety
Work in good physical and psychological condition. Pay attention to what you are actually doing. Do not work if you are tired or
under in fl uence of medicines or alcohol. Even a moment of distraction during work may lead to serious injuries. Use personal
protection. Wear protective goggles. Using personal protections like anti-dust masks, protective shoes, helmets or hearing
protector reduces the risk of serious injuries. Avoid starting the tool by chance. Make sure the switch is in the position „OFF”,
before the tool is connected to the compressed air tank. Keeping a fi nger on the switch or connecting of the tool when the switch
is in the position “ON” may cause serious injuries. Before the start of the, remove all the wrenches and other tools that were used
for adjustments. A wrench that is left on mobile parts of the tool may cause serious injuries. Keep balance. During the whole period
of work, keep an appropriate position. It will facilitate the operation of the tool in the case of unpredictable situations during work.
Use protective clothes. Do not wear loose clothes or jewellery. Keep the hair, clothes and gloves away from the mobile parts of
the tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair may get caught in the mobile parts of the tool. Use dust removing systems and dust
containers if the tool is equipped with them. Connect it correctly. A dust removing system diminishes the risk of serious injuries.
Operating of a tool
Do not use the tool in a manner that does not correspond to its purpose. Do not overload the tool. Use a proper tool for a given
job. A proper choice of tool for a given job will guarantee more e ffi cient and safer operation. Remove the spark plug before
adjusting, changing accessories or storing the tool. This will protect from casual switching it on. Store the tools away from
children. Do not permit operation of the tool by persons that have not been trained as far as its operation is concerned. The tool
must be properly maintained. Check the tool for lack of adjustment and play of mobile parts. Check if any element of the tool is
damaged. In the case if any defects are detected, they must be repaired before the tool may be used. Many accidents are caused
by incorrect maintenance of tools. Cutting tools must be kept clean and sharp. Properly kept cutting tool is easier to control during
operation. Use the tools and accessories with accordance to the above mentioned instructions. Use the tools with accordance to
their purpose, taking into account the type and conditions of work. Using the tools for purposes that di ff er from those for which they
were designed, increases the risk of dangerous situation. While operating a tool, take into account a possibility of fracturing the
working tool, what may cause expulsion of its parts at a high velocity and lead to serious injuries. Make sure the tool is rotating in
a correct direction. Unexpected direction of rotation may be a cause of a dangerous situation. Do not place hands near the mobile
cutting elements of the tool, since it may cause serious injuries. Cause of the greatest amount of damage during use of tools is
the contact body parts with moving blades. Keep an appropriate position and be prepared for an unexpected reaction of the tool.
Only use original accessories. Using the improper equipment can lead to serious injuries.
Repair
The tool may be repaired solely in authorised service points which use only original spare parts. It will guarantee an appropriate
level of safety of the tool. Do not clean the case of the tool, and plastic or rubber covers with petrol, solvents or another corrosive
liquid. The tool may only be maintained with high quality materials. It is prohibited to use substances other than those mentioned
in the service manual.
