General safety instructions
Grasp hand power tools at the designated isolated grip areas because, during operation, one may come into
contact with the cutting or drilling fi ttings with a hidden conductor or with the power cord.
Personal safety
When using a power tool, be careful and alert, pay special attention to the activity you are doing. Concentrate
on your work. Do not work with power tools if you are tired or if you are under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. When using power tools, even a momentary lapse in attentiveness can lead to severe
personal injury. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working with power tools.
Use protective gear. Always use eye protection. Use protective gear corresponding to the type of work you
are doing. Protective gear such as respirators, safety shoes with antiskid treatment, head protection or ear
protection, used in accordance with working conditions, lower the risk of personal injury.
Avoid unintentional operation of tools. Do not carry tools that are plugged into the electric grid with your
fi nger on the switch or release trigger. Before connecting the tool to a power supply, make sure that the
switch or release trigger are in the "off" position. Carrying tools with your fi nger on the switch or plugging the
tool into an outlet with the switch in the "on" position can cause serious injury.
Before turning tools on, remove all adjustment wrenches and tools. The adjustment wrench or tool that stays
connected to the rotating part of the power tool can cause personal injury.
Always stand fi rmly and keep your balance. Work only in places that you can reach safely. Never
overestimate your own strength. Do not use power tools if you are tired.
Dress appropriately. Use working clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Make sure that your hair,
clothing, gloves or other body parts do not come overly close to rotating or heated parts of the power tool.
Connect the equipment to the dust exhaust. If the tool offers the possibility to connect equipment for
capturing dust or dust suction, make sure that it is properly connected and used. Using this equipment can
reduce danger resulting from dust.
Firmly fasten the workpiece. Use a carpenter's clamp or vice to secure the piece you will be cutting.
Do not use power tools if you are under the infl uence of alcohol, drugs, medication or other narcotics or
addictive substances.
This equipment is not intended to be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities
(including children) or persons with insuffi cient experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or
received instructions to use the equipment from a person responsible for his/her safety. Children must be
supervised in order to ensure that they are not playing with the equipment.
Using power tools and their maintenance
Always disconnect the power tool from the electric grid if there is any problem during work, before every
cleaning or maintenance, during every shift and after fi nishing work! Never work with power tools if they are
damaged in any way.
If the tool starts emitting abnormal noises or odours, immediately stop working.
Do not overload power tools. The power tool will function better and more safely if it operates at speeds for
which it was designed. Use correct tools that are designated for the given activity. The correct tool works
better and more safely.
Do not use power tools that cannot be turned on safely and cannot be turned on and off with a control
switch. Using this type of tool is dangerous. Faulty switches must be repaired at a certifi ed service centre.
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before you start setting, changing accessories or maintenance.
This measure will prevent the risk of accidental start-up.
