Safety
General safety instructions for power tools
Warning: Read all theinstructions. Failure to comply with thefollowing instructions can lead
to electric shocks, fires or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Theterm “power tool” in thefollowing text refers to your handheld mains operated or battery
operated tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep thework area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas invite accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. near to flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can easily ignite dust and fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from thearea where you are using thepower tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose concentration and control of thetool.
2) Electrical safety
a) Theplug of thepower tool must fit correctly into thewall socket. Never modify
theplug in any way. Never use anadaptor plug together with earthed power tools.
There is less risk of receiving anelectric shock if plugs and sockets which have not been
modified are used.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators.
There is anincreased risk of receiving anelectric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose thepower tool to rain or other wet conditions. Water entering apower
tool will increase therisk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse themains lead. Never use thelead to carry or drag thepower tool or to
jerk theplug from awall socket. Keep thelead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase therisk of electric shock.
e) When using power tools outdoors, use anextension lead that is suitable for this purpose.
Theuse of anextension lead designed for outdoor use decreases therisk of electric shocks.
f) If theuse of thepower tool in awet environment is unavoidable, awall socket
equipped with aportable residual current device (RCD) should be used.
Use of anRCD significantly reduces therisk of electric shock.

English
3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using power tools.
Never use power tools if you are tired or under theinfluence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. One moment of inattention while using apower tool may result in serious injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing such as
dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders reduces therisk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that thepower switch is set to OFF before plugging
thepower tool into awall socket, fitting thebattery or picking up/carrying thepower
tool. Never carry apower tool with your finger on thetrigger and never connect thepower
tool to awall socket when theswitch is set to ON, since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on thepower tool. Aservice tool left on
arotating part of thepower tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of thepower tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair
could become caught in moving parts.
g) If equipment for theextraction and collection of dust is available, make sure it is
connected and used properly. Theuse of such equipment can significantly reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of thepower tool
a) Do not force thepower tool. Use thecorrect power tool for your application.
Thecorrect power tool will do thejob better and safer if used at therate for which it was designed.
b) Never use thepower tool if thepower switch does not switch thetool on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled by thepower switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug thelead from thewall socket before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing thepower tool. These precautions reduce therisk of thepower tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not allow people
who are unfamiliar with thetool or its functions to operate it. Power tools can be dangerous
if they fall into thehands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts
or anything else which might affect theoperation of thepower tool. If something is
damaged, have thepower tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use thepower tool and any accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account theworking conditions and thework to be performed. Using thepower tool
for apurpose other than that for which it is intended could result in adangerous situation.

English
5) Use and maintenance of cordless power tools
a) Charge thebattery using acharger recommended by themanufacturer.
b) Thetool is supplied with abattery provided by themanufacturer. Do not use any other battery.
c) If handled incorrectly, battery fluid can leak from thebattery. If this fluid should come
into contact with skin; rinse thearea thoroughly with water. Always contact adoctor if
this fluid comes into contact with your eyes.
6) Service
a) Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and only with
original spare parts. This guarantees that thesafety of thepower tool is maintained.
