Important. The following basic safety actions
must be taken when using electric tools in order
to protect the user from electric shocks and the
risk of injury and fire. Read and follow these
instructions before using the equipment.
1.
Keep your work area tidy
- Untidy work areas can result in accidents.
2.
Make allowance for ambient conditions
- Do not expose electric tools to rain. Never use
electric tools in damp or wet locations. Provide
good lighting. Do not use electric tools near
flammable liquids or gases.
3.
Guard against electric shock
- Avoid bodily contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
4.
Keep children away
- Do not allow other persons to touch the tool or
cable, keep them away from your work area.
5.
Keep your electric tools in a safe place.
- Unused tools should be stored in a dry, locked
room out of children’s reach.
6.
Do not overload your tools
- Tools work better and safer when used within
their quoted capacity range.
7.
Use the right tool.
- Do not use tools or attachments too weak for
heavy duty work. Never use tools on jobs for
which they are not intended; for example, do not
use a hand-held circular saw to fell trees or lop off
branches.
8.
Wear suitable work clothes
-
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can
be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and
nonskid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective nair covering

10.
Do not use the cable for purposes other than
that for which it is designed.
- Do not carry the tool by its cable and do not use
the cable to pull the plug out of the socket.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
11.
Secure your workpiece
- Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece
securely. This is safer than using your hand and
also enables you to operate the machine with
both hands.

you stand squarely and keep your balance at all
times.

regulations and the instructions for changing
tools. Check the power plug and cable on a
regular basis and have them replaced by an
authorized specialist if they are damaged. Check
the extension cable regularly and replace it if
damaged. Keep handles dry and free from oil and
grease.
14.
Pull the power plug
- When tools are not in use, before starting any
maintenance work or when changing attachments
such as saw blades, drill bits and all kinds of
mounted tools.
15.

- Before switching on, make sure that all keys and
wrenches have been removed from the
equipment.
16.
Avoid unintentional starting
- Never carry a tool with your finger on the switch
button while the tool is connected to the power
supply. Make sure that the switch is turned off
when connecting the tool to the power supply.
