General power tool safety
instructions
Read all safety war-
!
nings and all instru-
cions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
4. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
red or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) 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 elec-
tric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or groun-
ded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an incre-
ased risk of electric shock if your body is ear-
thed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the po-
wer tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdo-
or use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) In case that it has necessity of substitu-
tion of the electric handle must direct the
tool for an assistance authorized techni-
que. A damaged handle increase the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a po-
wer 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
Clutte- result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery 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 invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clo-
thing or jewellery. Keep your hair ands
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and pro-
perly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can-
cause hearing loss.
4. Power tool use and carerol
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power sour-
ce and/or the battery pack from the po-
wer tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures redu-
ce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfami-
equipment.
liar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power to-
ols are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breaka-
ge 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
perly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, 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 hazar-
dous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tools in
unexpected situations.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) In case of consuming of the carbon bru-
shes to send the tool by assistance autho-
rized technique for substitution. Carbon

c) If the power cord is damaged, the power
cord shall be replaced by manufacturer,
service or qualified person to avoid the
risk of electrical shock. Machine-specific

Safety Warnings
Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do
u
not reach under the workpiece. Contact
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
u
when switched on. Otherwise there is dan-
ger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in
the workpiece.
Pay attention that the base plate 4 rests se-
u
curely on the material while sawing. A
jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
When the cut is completed, switch off the
u
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely.
Pro-
u Use only sharp, flawless saw blades.
unsharp saw blades can break or cause kick-
back.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by ap-
u
plying side pressure after switching off. The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause-
kickback.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-
u
ty 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.
u Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
u Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
