1 – Safety of the work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate electric tools in explosive atmospheres, for example in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools create sparks that can
ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating the tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of the tool.
2 – Electrical safety
a) The electric tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapters with earthed (grounded) tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid any body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, lubricants, edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When using a tool outside, use an extension cable suitable for outside use. Use
of a cord suitable for outside use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If use of a tool in a humid location is unavoidable, use a supply protected by a
residual current differential device (RCD). The 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 the
tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of carelessness while using a tool can result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, a hard hat and hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position
before plugging the tool into the mains and/or fitting the batteries, picking it up or
carrying it. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with the
switch in the ON position is a cause of accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment key before operating the tool. A key left attached to a
rotating part of the tool can result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep a proper position and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress in a suitable manner. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
equipment, make sure that they are connected and used correctly. Using dust
collectors can reduce the dust-related risks.
4 – Use and maintenance of the tool
a) Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the work better and safer in the conditions for which it was manufactured.
b) Do not use the tool if the switch does not make it possible to change from the
operating condition to stop and vice versa. Any tool which cannot be controlled by
the switch is dangerous and should be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power cord before any adjustment, changing an accessory or
before storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
d) Keep idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the tool or these instructions to operate it. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain the tool. Check that there is no misalignment or obstruction of the
moving parts, broken parts or any other condition that could affect the operation of
the tool. In the event of damage, have the tool repaired before using it. Many
accidents are due to badly maintained tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the tool, accessories and blades etc., in accordance with these instructions,
while taking into account the work conditions and the work to be done. The use of
the tool for operations other than those intended could result in dangerous situa-
tions.
5 – Maintenance and service
a) Have the tool serviced by qualified repair personnel using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
