Personal Safety
• Be careful, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
working with a power tool. Never use a power tool when you are tired or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine. One moment of
inattention when using a power tool can result in serious injuries.
• Wear personal protective clothes and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective clothing, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety
boots, a hard hat or hearing protection, depending on the kind of
operation of the tool, reduces the risk of injuries.
• Avoid accidental operation of the tool. Make sure the power tool is turned
off before connecting it to the mains/battery, picking it up or carrying it.
Keeping your finger on the switch while carrying it, or leaving the power
tool set to ON when you connect it to the mains can result in accidents.
• Remove any setting tools or spanners before turning the power tool on. A
tool or spanner located in a rotating part can lead to injuries.
• Avoid an unnatural posture. Make sure you have a safe foothold and
always maintain your balance. This makes it easier to control the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do NOT wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust suction and collection devices are mounted, be sure that these are
connected and used properly. Using a dust suction device can reduce risks
related to dust.
Tool Operation and Handling
• Do not overload the device. Use the proper tool for the type of work to be
performed. When using the suitable power tool, you can work faster and
more safely within the specified power range.
• Never use a power tool if it's switch is defective. A power tool, which
cannot be turned on or off, is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the connector from the power outlet and/or remove the
rechargeable battery before performing any settings on the device,
changing accessories or storing the device. These safety precautions
prevent the accidental start of the power tool.
• Keep unused power tools out of reach of children. Never allow the device
to be used by people who are not familiar with it or who have not read the
instructions. Power tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced persons.
• Maintain the power tools carefully. Check if the movable parts work
correctly and do not jam. Ensure parts are not broken or damaged to such
a degree that they may affect the proper functioning of the power tool.
Make sure that damaged parts are repaired before using the device. Many
accidents are the result of badly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less prone to jamming and are easier to handle.
