4. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these safety instructions carefully, remember them and keep them in a safe
place.
WARNING!
When using electric machinery and power tools, it is important to abide by and adhere to the following safety
instructions for reasons of protection against injury caused by electric current, injury of persons and risk of
starting fi res. The term "power tools" used in the instructions below refers to power tools that are plugged into
a power supply (by a power cord) as well as tools running on a battery pack (cordless). Keep all warnings and
instructions for further use.
Work environment
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Untidiness and dark places on the job site are usually causes of
accidents. Store tools that are not used.
Do not use power tools in an environment where there is risk of starting a fi re or explosion; this refers to
places where there are fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks form on the power tool's commutator,
which can cause dust or fume ignition.
When using power tools, unauthorized persons, especially children, should be denied entry to the job site! In
case you are interrupted, you can lose control of the current activity. In any case, do not leave the power tool
without supervision. Prevent animals from approaching the equipment.
Electrical safety
The power tool's power plug must correspond to the power outlet. Never alter the plug in any way. If the
tool's plug has a safety peg, never use an adapter of any kind. Undamaged plugs and corresponding outlets
prevent the risk of injury by electric current. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a new
power cord that can be obtained from an authorized service centre or the importer.
Avoid bodily contact with grounded items, e.g. piping, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. The risk of
injury by electric current is greater if your body is connected to the ground.
Do not expose power tools to rain, moisture or dampness. Never touch power tools with wet hands. Never
wash power tools with running water and never submerse them into water.
Do not use the power cord for any other purpose than originally intended. Never carry or pull the power tools
by the power cord. Do not pull the plug out of the outlet by pulling on the cord. Avoid mechanical damage to
the power cord by sharp or hot objects.
Power tools were manufactured exclusively for the AC power supply. Always check if the electrical voltage
corresponds to the data printed on the tool's serial number label.
Never work with a tool that has a damaged power cord or plug, or that has fallen on the ground and is
damaged in any way.
In the case of using an extension cord, always check that its technical parameters correspond to the data
printed on the tool's serial number label. If the power tool is used outdoors, use an extension cord that is
appropriate for exterior use. When using an extension cable drum, the cord must be unwound to prevent the
cord from overheating.
If the power tool is used in moist areas or outdoors, it is permitted to use it only if it is plugged into an electric
circuit with a residual current device ≤30 mA. Using a circuit with an RCD lowers the risk of injury by electric
current.
