General safety instructions
Personal safety
When using a power tool, be careful and alert, pay special attention to the activity you are
doing. Concentrate on your work. Do not work with power tools if you are tired or if you
are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. When using power tools, even a
momentary lapse in attentiveness can lead to severe personal injury. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while working with power tools.
Use protective gear. Always use eye protection. Use protective gear corresponding to the type
of work you are doing. Protective gear such as respirators, safety shoes with antiskid
treatment, head protection or ear protection, used in accordance with working conditions,
lower the risk of personal injury.
Avoid unintentional operation of tools. Do not carry tools that are plugged into the electric grid
with your finger on the switch or release trigger. Before connecting the tool to a power supply,
make sure that the switch or release trigger are in the “off” position. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging the tool into an outlet with the switch in the “on” position can
cause serious injury.
Before turning tools on, remove all adjustment wrenches and tools. The adjustment wrench or
tool that stays connected to the rotating part of the power tool can cause personal injury.
Always stand firmly and keep your balance. Work only in places that you can reach safely.
Never overestimate your own strength. Do not use power tools if you are tired.
Dress appropriately. Use working clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Make sure
that your hair, clothing, gloves or other body parts do not come overly close to rotating or
heated parts of the power tool.
Connect the equipment to the dust exhaust. If the tool offers the possibility to connect
equipment for capturing dust or dust suction, make sure that it is properly connected and
used. Using this equipment can reduce danger resulting from dust.
Firmly fasten the workpiece. Use a carpenter’s clamp or vice to secure the piece you will be
cutting.
Do not use power tools if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or other
narcotics or addictive substances.
This equipment is not intended to be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities (including children) or persons with insufficient experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised or received instructions to use the equipment from a person responsible
for his/her safety. Children must be supervised in order to ensure that they are not playing
with the equipment.
Using power tools and their maintenance
Always disconnect the power tool from the electric grid if there is any problem during work,
before every cleaning or maintenance, during every shift and after finishing work! Never work
with power tools if they are damaged in any way.
If the tool starts emitting abnormal noises or odours, immediately stop working.

ENGeneral safety instructions
Do not overload power tools. The power tool will function better and more safely if it operates
at speeds for which it was designed. Use correct tools that are designated for the given
activity. The correct tool works better and more safely.
Do not use power tools that cannot be turned on safely and cannot be turned on and off
with a control switch. Using this type of tool is dangerous. Faulty switches must be repaired at
a certified service centre.
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before you start setting, changing accessories or
maintenance. This measure will prevent the risk of accidental start-up.
Store unused power tools so that they are out of the reach of children and unauthorized
persons. Power tools in the hands of inexperienced users can be dangerous. Store power
tools in a dry and safe place.
Keep power tools in good condition. Regularly check the setting of moving parts and their
movability. Check if the protective cover or other parts that can limit the safe functioning of the
power tool are not damaged. If the tool is damaged, ensure its proper repair before the next
use. Many injuries are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained and sharpened tools make work
easier, limit the risk of injury and work with them is much more easily controlled. Using other
accessories than those listed in the instruction manual can cause damage to the tool and
can cause injury.
Use power tools, accessories, work tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in a
way that is described for the specific power tool and with regard to the given working
conditions and the type of job. Using tools for other purposes than those intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
Using cordless tools
Before inserting the battery, make sure that the switch is in the “0-off” position. Inserting the
battery into a running tool can cause dangerous situations.
To charge the battery, only use chargers that are specified by the manufacturer. Using a
charger for a different kind of battery can cause damage to the battery and result in fire.
Only use batteries that are designated for the given tool. Using other batteries can cause
injury or result in fire.
If the battery is not used, store it away from metal objects such as clamps, wrenches, screws
and other small metal objects that could cause the connection of one battery contact with the
other. Short-circuiting the battery can cause injury, burns or fire.
Handle batteries with care. In the case of improper care, chemical substances can leak from
the battery. Avoid coming into contact with this substance and if you do come into contact
with it, rinse the affected area under running water. If the chemical substance comes into
contact with the eye, immediately seek out medical attention. The chemical substance from
the battery can cause serious injury.
