3) Personal safety
a) Stay vigilant, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a power tool.
Do not use a power tool if you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A short lapse of attention while using a power tool may result in severe injuries.
b) Use safety gear. Always wear safety goggles. Safety gear such as a dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, a hard-hat or a hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
injury.
c) Do not increase your range. Make sure at all times that you have a firm footing and that you
do not lose your balance. This ensures a better control of the tool should anything unexpected
happen.
d) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair are likely to get
caught in moving parts.
e) If there is a possibility to connect devices for collecting or extracting dust, make sure that
these devices are connected and correctly used. Using such devices reduces dust-related
risks.
4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
a) Do not force the tool. Use a tool suitable for your intended purpose. An appropriate power tool
will result in better and safer results when used under the conditions for which it has been designed.
b) Do not use a power tool if the ON/OFF switch does not work properly. A power tool which can
not be controlled by way of its ON/OFF switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the tool from its power supply before going about any settings, before changing
accessories, or before storing it. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of untimely
starting of the tool.
d) Store unused power tools out of the reach of children and do not put them in inexpert
hands or let them be used by people who are not aware of the present safety instructions.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain your power tools in good working order. Check for any misalignment or blocking
of moving parts, broken parts, and any other factors which may impair the functioning of
the tool. If it is damaged, have it repaired before use. Many accidents result from poorly maintained
tools.
f) Use the power tool and its accessories, as per these present instructions and in the way it
is meant to be used, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be done.
Using this power tool for anything other than for what it is planned is hazardous.
5) Use and maintenance of the batteries
a) Recharge the battery only with the charger stated by the manufacturer. A charger appropriate
for a certain type of battery may cause a fire if used with another battery.
b) Only use specifically designated batteries in a power tool. Use of any other type of battery may
result in injuries or fire.
c) In extreme situations, the battery may release liquid; avoid any contact. In case of accidental
contact, rinse thoroughly with water. If the liquid touches the eyes, call a physician immediately.
Battery liquid leaks may cause a rash or burns.
6) Servicing
Have your power tool serviced by an approved repair shop and using only original spare
parts. This will ensure that your tool remains safe.
