Safety
General safety instructions
Warning! Readtheentire userguide. Iftheinstructions below are not followed, there is arisk of electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. Theterm “power tool” in thewarning text below refers to your mains or battery
powered handtool.
KEEP THIS USER GUIDE.
1) Work area
a) Keep thework area clean and welllit. Accidentsare more likely to happen in cluttered and darkareas.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, for example in thepresence of flammable liquids,
gases ordust. Electricpower tools generate sparks which may ignite dust orfumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away when you are operating thepowertool. Youmay lose control
if you are distracted.
2) Electrical safety
a) Theplug on thepower tool must match thewall socket. Nevermodify theplug in anyway. Neveruse
anadapter plug with anearthed powertool. Usingunmodified plugs and matching wall sockets reduces
therisk of electricshock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed objects such as pipes, radiators, cookers or refrigerators. Thereis
anincreased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose thepower tool to rain or wet conditions. Ifwater gets into anelectric power tool, therisk
of electric shock is increased.
d) Do not abuse themainslead. Neveruse themains lead to carry or drag thepower tool or to
unplugit. Keepthemains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and movingparts. Damagedor
tangled mains leads increase therisk of electricshock.
e) When operating apower tool outdoors, use anextension lead suitable for outdooruse.
Usinganextension lead suitable for outdoor use reduces therisk of electricshock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert and use common sense when using apowertool. Donot use apower tool if you are tired
or under theinfluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Amoment of inattention when using apower tool
may result in serious injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Alwayswear safety glasses. Usingsafety equipment such as adust mask,
non-slip safety shoes, ahard hat and ear protectors reduces therisk of injury.
c) Avoid starting thetool accidentally. Makesure that theswitch is in theOFF position before you plug
thetoolin. Youcould cause anaccident if you carry apower tool with your finger on thetrigger switch or
connect apower tool to thepower supply when theswitch is at ON.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before you switch on thepowertool. Aservice tool left attached to
arotating part of thepower tool may cause injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keepproper footing and balance at alltimes. Thisgives you better control of
thepower tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Donot wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keepyour hair, clothing and gloves away
from movingparts. Loosely-fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair may get trapped in movingparts.
g) If dust extraction and collection equipment is available, make sure it is connected and properlyused.
Usingsuch equipment can reduce dust-related hazards.

ENGLISH
4) Using and maintaining the power tool
a) Do not overload thepowertool. Usethecorrect power tool for thework you aredoing.
Thecorrect power tool will do thejob better and more safely at therate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use thepower tool if theswitch does not turn it on andoff. Apower tool that cannot be
controlled with theswitch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug thepower tool before you make any adjustments, change anaccessory or put thetoolaway.
Thesepreventive safety measures will reduce therisk of thetool being started accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of thereach of children and do not allow people unfamiliar with thepower
tool and these instructions to useit. Powertools are dangerous in thehands of inexperiencedusers.
e) Checkfor misalignment or binding of moving parts, for broken parts or anything else that may affect
theoperation of thepowertool. Ifthere is any damage it must be repaired before thetool can be
usedagain. Manyaccidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp andclean. Properlymaintained cutting tools with sharp edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use thepower tool, accessories,etc., in accordance with these instructions and in themanner
intended for theparticular type of power tool, taking into account theworking conditions and
thetype of work to bedone. Usingthepower tool to do work for which it is not intended may result in
ahazardous situation.
5) Servicing
a) Servicing and repairs must be done by authorised personnel, using only genuine spareparts.
Thisguarantees that thesafety of theelectric power tool is preserved.
