SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read this manual carefully before starting or using the device. Always store the manual in the immediate vicinity of the device or its site of use!
Warning: Observe all the safety warnings, instructions and technical data provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow the instructions below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions of future reference.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark area lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. During operation of power tools, sparks
are created which may ignite the dust or gases.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the
operator's body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do 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-slip safety shoes, protective helmet or
hearing protection will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• 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 finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on can cause accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 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 and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If dust collection devices are provided, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of a dust collection system may reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of power tools allow you to become complacent and ignore power tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool that the job requires. The correct power tool used in proper applications will do the job better
and safer.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making 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 children 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 operators.
• Maintain power tools and accessories carefully. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
negatively affect the power tool's operation. 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 is dangerous.
• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
