f) If it is not possible to avoid the use of the power tool
in humid or wet areas, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
g) In case of change need or substitution of the electric
cable, it should be made by an authorized and quali-
fied technical service. A damaged cable increases 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 pow-
er tool while if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious person-
al injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that are switches on invite accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before switching
on the power tool. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
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 jewel-
lery. 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 ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of these devices can re-
duce dust related hazards.
h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
i) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal 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.
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 the
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 can cause injuries in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in injuries.
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 power tool is main-
tained.
b) The substitution of the electric cable of the power tool
should be accomplished by an authorized and quali-
fied technical service. Brushes out of specification can
cause damages to the motor of the power tool.
