EN 8 Safety Instructions
Personal safety
When working with power tools, always pay attention, watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
carelessness when working with power tools may result in serious injury.
Wear personal protective equipment. Always use eye protection. Use protective aids, e.g. respirator, safety
footwear with anti-slip soles, hard head cover or hearing protection appropriately to the work conditions; they
reduce the risk of injury to persons.
Avoid unintentional turning on. Before connecting to a power source, before connecting the battery, before
storage or before carrying the power tool, make sure that the start/stop trigger is in the off position. Carrying
the power tool with a finger on the trigger or connecting the power tool's plug with the trigger engaged may
cause an accident.
Remove any adjustment tools or spanners before switching on the tool. An adjustment tool or spanner left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in injury to persons.
Only work in locations that you can reach safely. Always maintain a stable stance and balance.
In this way you will have better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress in an appropriate manner. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Make sure that your hair, clothing
and gloves are well away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair may become caught in
the moving parts.
Where facilities are available for connecting extraction and dust collection equipment, ensure that such
equipment is connected and used correctly. The use of such equipment may limit the danger posed by the
created dust.
Using power tools and their maintenance
Do not overload the power tools. Only use power tools that are appropriate for the work being performed.
Appropriate power tools for the given task will do the job better and more safely.
Do not use power tools that cannot be switched on and off with a trigger. Any electric power tools that
cannot be controlled using a switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before adjusting the tool, before changing accessories, or
when the tool is not in use. These preventative safety measures limit the danger of accidentally turning on the
power tool.
Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons who are not familiar
with power tools or these instructions to use the tool. A power tool in the hands of inexperienced users is dangerous.
Perform maintenance on power tools. Check the adjustment of moving parts and their movement, focus on
cracks, broken parts or any other circumstances that may threaten the proper operation of the power tool. If
the power tool is damaged, have it repaired before using it again. Many accidents are caused by insufficiently
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting power tools sharp and clean. Correctly maintained and sharpened cutting power tools are less
likely to get stuck on material or to jam and they are also easier to control.
Use power tools, accessories, work tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
prescribed for the particular power tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the type of work being carried out. Using power tools for tasks other than for which they are designed
may lead to dangerous situations.
Service
Have your power tools repaired by a qualified person who will use original spare parts. In this manner, the
same level of safety will be ensured as before the repair of the power tool.
