VITO PRO POWER VIMLSF12A Instruction Manual page 23

The power tool has double insulation, which means
that all external metal parts are insulated from the
electrical components. Therefore, in accordance with
standard, no grounding is required. However, double
insulation does not replace normal safety precautions,
which must be observed when using the power tool.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or use it in wet or moist
environments. The presence of water in a power tool
increases the risk of damage and electric shock to the user.
Only hold the power tool by its insulated surfaces, which
prevent electric shock if the power tool comes into contact
with hidden wires or power cord during operation.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite liquids,
gases, or dust.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual and
are not familiarized with how to operate the oscillating
multi-tool must not use it.
To ensure that you work with the power tool safely, you
should take into account a few precautions and procedures
before start-up:
▪ Inspect the power tool before each use. Check that the
attached accessories are assembled correctly and in
good condition. In case there is excessive damage or
wear, replace them;
▪ In normal operation, the power tool vibrates. Check that
all fixing screws are properly screwed. Regular
inspection is important to ensure the safety and
performance of the power tool;
▪ After the accessories' assembly and before using the
power tool, test it at full speed with no load for a while.
Check for moving parts misalignment or any other
condition that may affect the oscillating multi-tool
operation. Check that all moving parts rotate smoothly,
without abnormal noises;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and work properly. Never use the power tool if the safety
devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or worn out;
▪ If the ON/OFF switch is damaged or does not allow the
operation of the power tool to be controlled it must be
repaired or replaced in order to
unintentional start.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool if you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official dealer.
Keep third parties away from the power tool's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to 300
lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection,
anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and
helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during the machine operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler suit.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Operating the power tool causes a massive load of
vibrations may damage nervous and circulatory
systems, especially to whom have circulatory problems.
Inform your doctor if any symptoms arise caused by the
vibrations. Among these symptoms, that occur specially on
fingers, hand and wrists, are also included loss of
sensation, pain, muscle weakness, skin discoloration or
tingling sensation.
When operating the oscillating multi-tool, plan pauses and
avoid operating the appliance for long periods of time.
Permanent vibrations are harmful to health.
