Personal safety
• Stay alert, monitor 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-
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 a power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing 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 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure 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
• The vibration emission during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used. Operators should identify
safety measures to protect themselves that
are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is
2114 - 004 - 03.11.2023
switched off and when it is running idle in
addition to the trigger).
Power tool use and care
• 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 controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove 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 users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may 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
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.
Battery tool use and care
• Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
