The noise and vibration levels have been

calculated according to the norms stated in
the conformity statement.

The stated vibration emission value was

measured in accordance with a standard
testing procedure and may be used to com-

pare one power tool to another. The stated

vibration emission value may also be used
for a preliminary exposure assessment.

Warning: The vibration emission

value may differ during actual use of
the power tool from the stated value
depending on the manner in which
the power tool is used.
Try to keep the exposure to vibra­tions as low as possible. Examples
of measures to reduce vibration
exposure are the wearing of gloves
when using the tool and limiting the
working hours. For this purpose all
parts of the operating cycle have to
be considered (for example, times
when the electric tool is switched off
and times when it is switched on but

running without any load).

General safety instructions
for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety direc­tions and instructions. Omissions

in the compliance with safety directions
and instructions can cause electrical

shock, re and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and in­structions for future use.

The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and to battery-op­erated power tools (without power cord).

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-

cidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as

in the presence of ammable

Iiquids, 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. Unmodi-

ed 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 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

7

GB IE NI CY

or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
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.

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 inu­ence of drugs, alcohol or medi­cation. A moment of inattention white

operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equip-

ment. 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 off­position before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with

your nger 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 at-

tached 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 applies especially when
working on slopes. 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 dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Walk when holding the device

in your hand. Do not run.

i) Do not touch any of the danger-

ous moving parts before you
have removed the battery and
all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill. There is a risk

of injury.

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

8

GB IE NI CY

power source and/or the bat­tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust

-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.

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
Iikely 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 op-

erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERY DEVICES

a) Charge the batteries only in

chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of re if a

charger that is suitable for a specic type

of battery is used with other batteries.

b) In the power tools, use only the

batteries designed for the pur­pose. The use of other batteries may

result in injuries and risk of re.

c) Keep the unused battery away

from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could
cause bridging of the contacts.

A short circuit between the battery con-

tacts may cause burns or re.

d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak

from the battery. Avoid contact
with this. In the event of accidental
contact, rinse off with water. If the
liquid gets into eyes, seek medical
assistance. Leaking battery uid may

cause skin irritations or burns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced

by a qualied repair person us­ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety

of the power tool is maintained.

to cover damage to breakable parts (e.g.

switches).
This guarantee shall be invalid if the prod-

uct has been damaged, used incorrectly or

not maintained. Precise adherence to all of
the instructions specied in the operating

manual is required for proper use of the
product. Intended uses and actions against
which the operating manual advises or
warns must be categorically avoided.

The product is designed only for private
