▪ Check that all fixing screws are properly screwed.
Regular inspection is important to ensure the safety
and performance of the power tool;
▪ After the accessories' assembly and before using the
power tool, test it at full speed with no load for a
while. Check that all moving parts rotate smoothly,
without abnormal noises or sparks on the carbon
brushes;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and work properly. Never use the power tool if the
safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or
worn out;
▪ If the "ON/OFF" switch is damaged or does not allow
the tool operation to be controlled, it must be
repaired or replaced in order to avoid unintentional
start-up from the power tool;
Perform all adjustments and work necessary for the
correct assembly of the power tool if you have any
questions or difficulties, contact your official dealer.
While operating
Keep third parties away from the power tool's
area of operation. Never work while animals or
people, especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to
300 lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves and helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during use of the machine must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
The use of the power tool causes high load of
vibrations which can cause damage to the
circulatory and nervous systems, especially in people
with circulatory disorders. Seek medical attention if
symptoms occur that may be caused by vibrations.
These symptoms, which occur mainly in the fingers,
hands or wrists, include, for example, loss of sensation,
pain, muscle weakness, discoloration of the skin or
unpleasant tingling.
