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�
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries�
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and / or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents�
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury�
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations�
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts�
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards�
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles� A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second�
• Warning! Power tools can produces an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field may under
some circumstances interfere with active or passive
medical implants� To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical im-
plants to consult their physician and the medical im-
plant manufacturer before operating this power tool�
Power tool use and care
• The persons with lowered psychophysical or men-
tal aptitudes as well as children can not operate the
power tool, if they are not supervised or instructed
about use of the power tool by a person responsible
for their safety�
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application� The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed�
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired�
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and /
or the battery pack from the power tool before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools� Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally�
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users�
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools�
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control�
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation�
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations�
• Note that when you operate a power tool, please
hold the auxiliary handle correctly, which is helpful
when controlling the power tool� Therefore, proper
holding can reduce the risk of accidents or injuries�
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained�
• Follow instruction for lubricating and changing ac-
cessories�
Safety guidelines during power tool op-
eration
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock�
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control�
• Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock�
• Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander.
• Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not
reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw
blade can lead to injuries�
• Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards�
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with electric
lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion� Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock�
• Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and
make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool
can be more securely guided with both hands�
