General safety instructions
Personal Safety
Be careful, stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating a power tool.
Concentrate on your work. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury. Do not eat, drink and smoke while operating a power tool.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Use protective equipment
corresponding to the type of work you are doing. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used in accordance with the working
conditions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Do not carry the power tool while it is energised or with
your finger on the switch or trigger. Ensure the switch or trigger is in the “off” position before
connecting to power source. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on may result in serious injuries.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. An adjusting wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Never overestimate your own
capabilities. Never use power tools while you are tired.
Dress properly. Wear work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing, gloves and other part of your body away from moving or hot parts of the power tool.
Connect the equipment to dust exhaustion. If the tools are provided for the connection of dust
collection or exhaustion devices, ensure these are properly connected and used. Use of such
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Fix the work-piece tightly. Use a cabinet clamp or a cramp to fix the work-piece you are about
to machine.
Never use power tools if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or other
narcotic or addictive substances.
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical,
sensual or mental capacities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they are supervised
or instructed about the use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety. Children
must be supervised to make sure they are not playing with the equipment.
Power Tool Use and Maintenance
Always disconnect the power tool from the mains in case of any problem during the work,
before cleaning the power tool or its maintenance, during each transportation and after the
completion of the work! Never operate a power tool if it is damaged in any way.
Immediately stop working if the power tool generates abnormal noise or smell.
Do not overload the power tool. The power tool will operate better and safer if it is used at the
rate for which it was designed. Use correct power tool which is intended for the given activity.
The correct power tool will do the job it was designed for better and safer.
Do not use the power tool if it cannot be safely turned on and off using the control switch.
Use of such power tool is dangerous. Defective switches must be repaired by a certified
service provider.
