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 inflammable 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 charger. Keep all people away from the
work area.
5 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.
6 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
2
to keep long hair out of the way.
7 Wear safety goggles
Also use a face or dust mask in case the
operations produce dust or flying particles.
8 Beware of maximum sound pressure
Take appropriate measures for the protection of
hearing if the sound pressure of 85 dB(A) is
exceeded.
9 Secure workpiece
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is
safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
