SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electric tools, the following basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Read all these
instructions before attempting to operate this product.
Save these instructions.
1. Check voltage indicated on nameplate
2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite injuries
3. Consider work area environment. Do not
expose power tools to rain. Do not use power
tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area
well lit. Do not use power tools in presence of
flammable liquids or gasses.
4. Guard against electric shock. Avoid body con-
tact with earthed surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,
ranges, refrigerators).
5. Keep children away. Do not let visitors contact tool
or cord; they should be kept away from work area.
6. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should
be stored in a dry and locked-up place, out of the
reach of children.
7. Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was intended.
8. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended (e.g. do
not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or
logs).
9. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry; they can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are rec-
ommended when working outdoors. Wear pro-
tective hair covering to contain long hair.
10. Use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask,
if cutting operation is dusty.
11. Connect dust extraction equipment. If devices
are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
12. Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by
the cord, never yank the cord to disconnect it
from the socket, and keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
13. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
work; it is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
15. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for maintenance and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords and plugs peri-
odically and if damaged, have them repaired by a
qualified person. Inspect extension cords period-
ically and replace them, if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
General Operating Tips:
16. Disconnect tools. Disconnect tool when not in
use, before servicing or when changing acces-
sories such as blades, bits and cutters.
17. Remove tool keys. Form the habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenched are
removed from the tool before turning it on.
18. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a
plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch. Be
sure the switch is off when plugging it in.
19. Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
use outdoors and so marked.
20. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use com-
mon sense and do not operate tool when you are
tired.
21. Check damaged parts. Before you use the tool,
always carefully check the guarding and other
parts to determine that they will operate proper-
ly and perform their intended functions. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov-
ing parts and breakage of parts. Check for prop-
er mounting of all parts and any other conditions
that may affect their operation. A guard, switch,
or other part that is damaged or defective should
be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
person. Do not use tool, if switch does not turn
it on and off.
22. Warning! Use the tool and its accessories in
accordance with these safety instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular tool, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the tool for opera-
tions, different from those normally expected to
be performed by the particular tool, could result
in a hazardous situation.
23. Have the tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric tool is in accordance with the rele-
vant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified persons using original spare
parts, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger for the user.
24. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
