Safety instructions
Warning! When using electric tools, the
following basic safety precautions should always be
taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.
Read all these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.
For safe operation:
• We recommend that you take appropriate
measures for the protection of hearing if the
sound pressure of 85 dB (A) is exceeded.
• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite injuries.
• Consider work area environment. Do not
expose power tools or chargers to rain. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use power tools in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• Guard against electric shock. Avoid body
contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
• Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch
the tool or extension cord. All visitors should be
kept away from work area.
• Store idle tools. When not in use, tools and
batteries should be stored in a dry, high or locked
place, out of reach of children.
• Do not force the tool. It will do the job
better and more safely at the rate for which it
was intended.
• Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Do not use tools for purposes not intended;
for example, do not use a circular saw to cut tree
limbs or logs!
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery as they can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty or if using in
enclosed spaces.
• Secure your work. Use clamps or a vice to hold
your work. It is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp
and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool
before switching it on.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a
tool with a finger on the switch.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate when you are tired.
• Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre unless
otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an
authorised service centre. Do not use the tool if
the switch does not turn it on and off.
• Warning! The use of any accessory or
attachment, other than recommended in this
instruction manual, may present a risk of
personal injury.
• Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons using original spare parts, otherwise
considerable danger to the user may result.
• This electrical appliance is in accordance with the
relevant standards.
