Safety Instructions
When using power tools, always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country
to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock and
personal injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
read the instruction manual.
General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the
tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work
area well lit (250–300 Lux). Do not use the tool
where there is a risk of causing fi re or explosion,
e.g. in the presence of fl ammable liquids and
gases.
3 Keep children away
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come
near the work area or to touch the tool or the
mains cable.
4 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective
hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
When working outdoors, preferably wear suitable
gloves and non-slip footwear.
5 Personal protection
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or fl ying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
6 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g.
pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). When
using the tool under extreme conditions (e.g. high
humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,
etc.), electric safety can be improved by inserting
an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage
circuit-breaker.
7 Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8 Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
9 Secure workpiece
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is
safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
10 Connect dust extraction equipment
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that
these are connected and properly used.
11 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches
are removed from the tool before operating the
tool.
12 Extension cables
Before use, inspect the extension cable and
replace if damaged. When using the tool
