GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the appliance.
Keep this instruction manual for future reference or new users.
- WARNING: read all safety warnings, instructions, figures and
specifications supplied with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
- WARNING: read all safety warnings and instructions marked
with the symbol.
- Keep all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep the work area clean and well illuminated.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks that can light dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can make you lose control of the tool.
2) Electric safety
a) The power tools plugs must match the socket. Never
modify the plug. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed
power tools. The unmodified plugs and the suitable sockets
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, like pipes,
radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is a higher risk of
electric shock if your body is in touch with the ground.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. The
water inlet in a power tool increases the risk of electric
shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert and use common sense when using a power
tool. Do not use power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A lack of attention
while operating power tools can result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective gear, like dust mask, non-slip safety
footwear, helmet or hearing protection, used under the
appropriate conditions, will reduce the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure the switch is in Off
position before connecting the tool to a power source and/
or battery, or before picking it up or transporting it. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools with the switch in the On position will result in
injuries.
d) Remove any spanners or wrenches before switching on the
power tool. Leaving a spanner or wrench in a rotary piece of
the tool may cause injuries.
e) Do not exert too much force when using the tool. Keep your
feet firmly on the ground and maintain your balance at all
times. This will provide better control of the electric tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothes. 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.
g) If adapters are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection, ensure that they are connected and used
correctly. Dust vacuuming can reduce dust-related risks.
h) The confidence gained from frequent use of tools should
not be a reason for ignoring general security principles. A
