2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to
heed warnings and follow instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety
warnings and instructions for future reference.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
03

A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care,
therefore
– be careful when using the appliance in places where
there are combustible materials;
– do not apply to the same place for a long time;
– do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere;
– be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible
materials that are out of sight;
– place the appliance on its stand after use and allow it
to cool down before storage;
– do not leave the appliance unattended when it is
switched on.
Ensure that the firelighter is properly positioned;
Unplug the firelighter before removal from the fire;
Allow the firelighter to cool before storage;
Do not allow the hot parts of the firelighter to touch the
cord or other flammable materials.
WORKING AREA
Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark
areas can lead to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive
surroundings, for example, in the presence of
inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep
children and bystanders at a distance when operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of
it.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the
04

voltage on the rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with
earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock. Avoid
body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of an electric shock if your body is
earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If
water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of
an electric shock.
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cable suitable for outdoor use.
Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual
current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when
operating a power tool may result in serious personal
05

injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever
it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting the plug.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on
position makes accidents more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning
on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the
ground at all times. This will enable you retain control
over the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power
tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become
entangled in the moving parts.
If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and
collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached
and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use
the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power
tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the
context for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on
06

and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of
children and do not allow people who are not familiar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate it.
Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature
that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is
damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many
accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 work which
needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it
was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous
situations.
SERVICE
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified
specialist using only standard spare parts. This will
ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
