The supply voltage must match the technical
specifications of the power tool. Keep the voltage
between ± 5% of the rated value. Do not operate the power
tool in places where the supply voltage is not stable. The
power cord must be plugged into a socket with differential
protection and earth terminal.
If the workplace is extremely hot, humid or with a high
concentration of dust, the socket circuit must be protected
with a circuit breaker (30 mA) to ensure the safety of the
user.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or operate it in wet or
damp conditions. The presence of water in a power tool
increases the risk of damage and electric shock to the user.
Hold the power tool by insulated surfaces only, it prevents
electric shock if the tool comes into contact with concealed
wiring during use.
Never use the power cord to pull, carry or unplug the power
tool. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
Keep the power cord and plug away from heat sources, oil,
sharp or rotating objects. Check the condition of the power
cord regularly, if it is damaged, it must be replaced or
repaired by a qualified technician.
Never change the power cord's plug and use a socket which
is compatible with the plug. Do not use any kind of socket
adaptor.
The use of extension cords to plug in the power cord is not
recommended. However, if you use an extension cord, you
should take some precautions, such as:
▪ If you operate the power tool outdoors, use only
extension cords suitable for outdoor use. The use of a
suitable extension cord reduces the risk of electric
shock;
▪ Only use extension cords, plugs and sockets with earth
contact;
▪ The cross-section of the extension cord's conductors
shall be proportional to the length and with the same
characteristics as or larger than the power tool's power
cord;
▪ Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the
extension cords before using them and replace them if
necessary;
▪ Always unplug the extension cord before removing the
plug from the power tool;
▪ When using an extension cord reel, unroll the cord
completely.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual and
are not familiarized with how to operate the power tool must
not use it.
To ensure that you work with the power tool safely, you
should consider a few precautions and procedures before
start-up:
▪ Inspect the power tool before each use. Check if the
attached accessories are fitted correctly and in good
condition. If damaged or worn out excessively, replace
the accessories;
▪ In normal operation, the power tool is designed to
generate vibrations. Check if all fixing bolts are properly
tightened. Regular servicing is important to ensure the
safety and performance of the power tool;
▪ After fitting the accessories and before using the device
on a workpiece, run it at maximum no-load speed for
some time. Check for moving parts misalignment or any
other condition that may affect the power tool operation.
Check if all rotating parts run smoothly, without
abnormal noises and sparks on the carbon brushes;
▪ Check if the safety devices are in perfect condition and
function properly. Never use the power tool if the safety
devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or worn out;
▪ Ensure that the "ON/OFF" switch is off positioned when
plugging in the power cord. If the "ON/OFF" switch is
damaged or does not enable you to control the operation
of the power tool, it must be repaired or replaced in order
to prevent its unintentional start.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool if you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official dealer.
