doing, and concentrate and think soberly. Power tools must not be used if the
operator is tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Momentary
inattention while using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a respirator, non-slip safety shoes, hard headgear or hearing protection, used in
accordance with the working conditions, reduces the risk of personal injury.
c) Unintentional starting of the machine must be avoided. Make sure that the switch is
in the off position before plugging in and / or connecting the battery pack, lifting or
carrying the tool. Carrying a tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in a tool fork
with the switch on can cause accidents.
d) All adjusting tools or wrenches must be removed before turning on the tool. An
adjusting tool or wrench that remains attached to the rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) The operator must only work where he can reach safely. The operator must always
maintain a stable posture and balance. This will allow better control of the power tool in
unforeseen situations.
f) Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. The operator must make
sure that his hair and clothing are far enough away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewelry and long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) Where means are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, care shall be taken to ensure that such equipment is connected and used
correctly. The use of these devices can reduce the hazards caused by dust.
h) The operator must not allow the routine, which is based on the frequent use of the
tool, to become complacent and ignore the principles of tool safety. Careless
operation can cause serious injury in a fraction of a second.

a) Power tools must not be overloaded. It is necessary to use the correct power tool
that is intended for the work performed. The right power tool will do the job it was
designed to do better and safer.
b) Power tools that cannot be turned on and off with the switch must not be used. Any
power tool that cannot be operated with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools,
unplug the power tool and / or remove the battery pack from the power tool, if
removable. These precautions reduce the risk of accidental starting of the power tool.
d) Unused power tools must be stored out of the reach of children and persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions must not be allowed to use the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Power tools and accessories must be maintained. It is necessary to check the
adjustment of moving parts and their mobility, focusing on cracks, broken parts and
any other circumstances that may jeopardize the function of the power tool. If the
tool is damaged, it must be repaired before further use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Cutting tools must be kept sharp and clean. Properly maintained and sharpened cutting
tools are less likely to catch on the material or become jammed and easier to control.
g) Power tools, accessories and tool bits etc. must be used in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using power tools for
activities other than those for which they were designed can lead to dangerous situations.
