2. SAFETY REGULATIONS

2.1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep the work area clean at all times.
Cluttered and dirty areas make
accidents more likely to happen.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders at a safe
distance while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid 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.
b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase 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 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.
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) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the tool is switched OFF before insert the
battery, picking up or carrying the power
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or fitting the battery with
the tool switched ON invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not lose your balance. 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 jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If any devices are to be connected to
dust extractor and collection units,
check they are connected and used
appropriately. The use of these devices
may reduce dust related risks.
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 at the
rate for which it was designed.
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) Remove the accumulator from its housing
before making any adjustments, changing
attachments 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 are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools with care. Check
for misalignment or obstruction of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting devices sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting devices with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
become jammed and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. The use of a power tool
for operations it was not designed for
can cause hazardous situations.
