Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating or using this tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
or using this tool. Do not operate or use the tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating or
using the tool may result in serious personal injury. Work sensibly at all times with regular
breaks if necessary.
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) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before operating the tool. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
3) Tool use and care
IMPORTANT: Tools used outdoors may require more regular cleaning and surface treatment to
prevent corrosion, as well as replacement grease or oil on moving parts to maintain them in
good working condition.
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
GB and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
c) Use the tool's 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
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced or repaired by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
