Dear Customer,
Before putting the machine into operation, read the
enclosed safety rules and operating instructions.
General Safety Rules
Warning!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term „power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)
power tool, also machines and electric units. Only use
the power tool for the purpose for which it was
intended, with the due attention to the general safety
and accident prevention regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.) Work area
a) Keep work area clean, tidy and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
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 away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surface such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents. Never bridge the
switch.
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.
Always keep your hands away from moving
(rotating) parts.
