General safety precautions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
!
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions 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.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Ensure when cutting that no material can become
loose and fall, causing operating injury.Take great
care when working on sloping ground.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the
drill bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure
and cordon off the area and make sure that no one
can be injured or material damaged.

Electrical safety

• 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 the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, charp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if the cord
is damaged, hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unaviodable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord
while it is rolled up.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed
outlet socket. Check that the mains voltage
corresponds with that stated on the rating plate on the
machine.
• Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use
the machine so that the cord will not be damaged.
WARNING! Do not wash the machine
!
with water, as water can enter the
electrical system or the engine and
cause damage to the machine or short
circuit.

Personal safety

• 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.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protetctive equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
