Dear Customer,
Before putting the machine into operation, read
the enclosed safety rules and operating instruc-
tions.
General Safety Rules
Warning!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term „pow-
er tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool, also ma-
chines and electric units. Only use the power
tool for the purpose for which it was intended,
with the due attention to the general safety and
accident prevention regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.) Work area
a) Keep work area clean, tidy and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surface such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
- 8 -
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3.) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce the risk of personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents. Never bridge
the switch.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury. Always keep your hands away from
moving (rotating) parts.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust rela -
ted hazards.
