General safety rules
Warning! Failure to use or operate in accordance with the instructions listed below will result in electric shock, fire and / or
serious injury. In all the warnings listed below, the term "power tool" refers to a market-driven (wired) power tool or a
battery-driven (wireless) power tool.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
Workplace
1) Keep the workplace clean and well lit. Chaotic and dark venues can cause accidents.
2) Do not operate power tools in explosive environments such as flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks from power tools
ignite dust and gases.
3) Allow children and bystanders to operate power tools after they leave. Distractions will relax your control.
Electrical safety
1) The plug of the power tool must match the socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. No conversion plugs can be
used for power tools that need to be grounded. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2) Avoid human contact with grounding surfaces, such as pipes, heaters and refrigerators. If your body is grounded, it will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3) No power tools shall be exposed to rain or wet conditions. The entry of water into power tools will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4) No abuse of electrical wires. Never use wires to carry, pull power tools, or pull out their plugs. Keep power tools away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or wound wires increase the risk of electric shock.
5) When using power tools outdoors, use external wiring wires suitable for outdoor use. Wires suitable for outdoor use will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
1) Stay alert, pay attention to the operation when operating the power tool and stay awake. Do not operate power tools with
tiredness, drug, alcohol or therapeutic reactions. Distraction during the operation of power tools can lead to serious personal
injury.
2) Use safety devices. Always wear goggles. Safety devices, such as dust masks under appropriate conditions, anti-skid safety
shoes, safety helmets, hearing protection and other devices can reduce personal injury.
3) Avoid sudden start. Make sure the switch is in the off position when it is inserted into the plug. It may be dangerous to
insert the plug when the finger is placed on a switch that is powered on or when the switch is turned on.
4) Remove all adjustment keys or wrenches before the power tool is turned on. Wrenches or keys left on rotating parts of
power tools can cause personal injury.
5) Don't stretch your hand too long. Always pay attention to your feet and body balance. In this way, the power tools can be
well controlled in the event of an accident.
6) Dress appropriately. Don't wear loose clothes or accessories. Keep your hair, clothes, and sleeves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, ornaments or long hair may be involved in moving parts.
7) If devices for connection with chip removal devices and dust collection equipment are provided, ensure that they are
properly connected and used properly. The use of these devices can reduce the risk caused by debris.
Use and considerations of power tools.
1) Do not abuse power tools and use appropriate power tools according to their use. Choosing a properly rated power tool
will make your work more efficient and safer.
2) If the switch cannot turn on or off the power supply of the tool, the power tool cannot be used. Power tools that cannot
be controlled by switches are dangerous and must be repaired.
3) Before any adjustment, replacement of accessories or storage of power tools, the plug must be unplugged from the power
supply and / or the battery case must be removed from the power supply. This protective measure will reduce the risk of
sudden start-up of power tools.
4) Store idle power tools beyond the reach of children, and do not allow people who are not familiar with power tools or do
not understand these instructions to operate power tools. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5) Maintenance of power tools. Check the installation deviation or clamping of the moving parts, the damage of the parts and
other conditions affecting the operation of the power tools. If there is any damage, the power tools must be repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6) Keep the cutting tool sharp and clean. A well-maintained tool with a sharp cutting edge is not easy to jam and easy to
control.
7) Consider operating conditions and operations to use power tools, accessories, tool heads, etc., in accordance with the
instructions and the special type requirements of the power tools to be used. The use of power tools for operations that do
