Safety instructions

When using Power Tools, always observe the safety regulations
applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting
to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place!
General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose Power Tools to humidity. Keep work area well lit. Do
not use Power Tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators). For use 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.
4 Keep children away
Do not let children come into contact with the tool or extension cord.
Supervision is required for those under 16 years of age.
5 Extension cords for outdoor use
When the tool is used outdoors, always use extension cords intended
for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
6 Store idle tools
When not in use, Power Tools must be stored in a dry place and
locked up securely, out of reach of children.
7 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving
parts. Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip footwear when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out
of the way.
8 Wear safety goggles
Also use a face or dust mask in case the operations produce dust or
flying particles.
9 Beware of maximum sound pressure
Take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing if the sound
pressure of 85 dB(A) is exceeded.
10 Secure workpiece
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
11 Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12 Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry the plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure
that the switch is released when plugging in.

before leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool when not in use, before
servicing or changing accessories.
15 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the
tool before operating the tool.
16 Use appropriate tool
The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not force
small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of
