Safety Instructions
Safety of people
When working with the power tool, always stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not use power tools if you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
carelessness when working with power tools may result in serious injury.
Use personal protective aids. Always use eye protection. Use protective aids, e.g. respirator, safety footwear
with anti-slip soles, hard head cover or hearing protection appropriately to the work conditions; they reduce
the risk of injury to persons.
Avoid accidentally starting up the power tool. Before connecting to a power source, before connecting the
battery, before storage or before carrying the power tool, make sure that the start/stop trigger is in the off
position. Carrying the power tool with a fi nger on the trigger or connecting the power tool’s plug with the
trigger engaged may cause an accident.
Remove all adjustment tools and spanners before turning on the power tool. An adjustment tool or spanner
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in injury to persons.
Only work in locations that you can reach safely. Always maintain a stable stance and balance.
In this way you will have better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress in an appropriate manner. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Make sure that your hair, clothing
and gloves are at a suffi cient distance from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair may
become caught in the moving parts.
If there is equipment available for the extraction and collection of dust, make sure that such equipment is
connected and used correctly. The use of such equipment may limit the danger posed by the created dust.
Using power tools and their maintenance
Do not overload the power tool. Only use power tools that are appropriate for the work being performed.
Appropriate power tools for the given task will do the job better and more safely.
Do not use power tools that cannot be turned on and off with a switch. Any electric power tools that cannot
be controlled using a switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Before adjusting the power tool, before replacing accessories or if you will not be using the power tool, pull
the power plug out of the power socket. These preventative safety measures limit the danger of accidentally
turning on the power tool.
When not used, store the power tool out of children’s reach and do not permit person not acquainted with
the power tool or these instructions to use the power tool. A power tool in the hands of inexperienced users is
dangerous.
Perform maintenance on the tool. Check the adjustment of moving parts and their movement, focus on
cracks, broken parts or any other circumstances that may threaten the proper operation of the power tool.
If the power tool is damaged, have it repaired before using it again. Many accidents are caused by
insuffi ciently maintained power tools.
Keep cutting power tools clean and sharp. Correctly maintained and sharpened cutting power tools are less
likely to get stuck on material or to jam and they are also easier to control.
Use power tools, accessories, working tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in such
a manner as prescribed for the specifi c power tool with respect to the given work conditions and the type
of work being carried out. Using power tools for tasks other than for which they are designed may lead to
dangerous situations.
Service
Have your power tool repaired by a qualifi ed person that will use original spare parts. In this manner, the
same level of safety will be ensured as before the repair of the power tool.
