Safety instructions
General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a.
Keep work area clean 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
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric 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, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease 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.
f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD 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 personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
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.
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
Wear ear protection.
Wear a dust mask.
Wear protective gloves.
Risk of pinching fingers and hands!
Danger area! Keep hands away!
Disconnect from the power supply!

away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery 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
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h.
Do not let familiarity gained from freuquent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore, tool safety principles.
A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool‘s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5 SERVICE
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
Machine-related safety instructions
–
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
–
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
–
Harmful/toxic dust may be produced during
your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain
types of wood and metal). Only qualified persons are permitted to handle materials containing asbestos.
Inhaling or coming into contact
with this dust may represent a hazard for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply
with the safety regulations that apply in your
country.
Wear a P2 dust mask to protect your
health.
–
Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down.
The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
–
Grip the electric power tool securely so that
your body never comes into contact with the operating tool, especially when working with saw
blades or cutters directed towards the grip area, for example.
Contact with sharp cutters or
edges can result in injuries.
–
Wear suitable protection:
such as ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work which
generates dust, and protective gloves when
working with raw materials and when changing
tools.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING!
Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
9
construction activities contains chemicals known
(to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands after handling.
