WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, for example in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which can ignite dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control of the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The power tool connector must be adapted to the socket. Never modify the connector in any way
whatsoever. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
suitable sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is in direct contact with the ground.
Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions. The entry of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
Do not mishandle the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
Use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use when operating power tools outdoors. Use a cord
suitable for outdoor to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD) when the power
tool is operated in a damp location. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE: The term “Residual Current Device” (RCD) can be replaced by “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter” (GFCI)
or “Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker” (ELCB).
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the power tool. Do not
use a power tool when you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, helmets, or ear protection used at the appropriate times reduces injuries.
Avoid accidental starting of the tool. Make sure the switch is in the off position before you connect the
tool to the power source and/or battery pack, pick it up, or carry it. Carrying a power tool with your nger
on the switch or connecting a power tool with the switch in the ‘on’ position can cause accidents.
Remove any adjusting wrench before switching the electric tool on. A wrench left attached to a rotating
part can cause injury.
• The PELLENC company accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by improper or unspecied use different
from its original intention.
• The PELLENC company accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of non-original parts or
accessories.
This device is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, nor by anyone lacking in experience or knowledge, except if they
are supervised or have received prior instructions from a person responsible for their safety.

USE AND CARE OF THE POWER TOOL
Do not force the power tool. Use the power tool suited for the job. The adapted power tool does the work
better and more safely at the speed it was built to operate at.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not allow it to be switched on and off. Power tools that
cannot be controlled by a switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the tool from the socket or remove the battery (if possible) before any adjustment, change of
accessory or storage. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power
tool.
When not in use, keep power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are dangerous when operated by
inexperienced users.
Maintenance of the power tool and its accessories is mandatory. Check that the moving parts are not
out of alignment or jammed, that there are no broken parts or that there is no other condition which
could affect the operation of the power tool. If damaged, repair the power tool before using it. Many
accidents are due to poorly maintained power tools.
Keep the cutting elements sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting elements
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, blades, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be done. Using the power tool for operations other than those
specied can result in hazardous situations.
Keep the handles and gripping surfaces must dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and
gripping surfaces make it impossible to safely handle and control the tool in unexpected situations.
Do not rush. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This provides better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for connecting dust extraction and collection equipment, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use dust collectors to reduce the risk caused by dust.
Be vigilant and do not neglect the safety principles of the tool under the pretext that you are used to
using it. A split second of inattention can lead to serious injury.
