General Safety Instructions:
WARNING! To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories
on, or working near this tool must read and understand the safety instructions before performing any such task.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Our goal is to produce tools that help you work safely and efficiently. The most important safety device is the operator. Care
and good judgement are the best protection against injury. All possible hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried
to highlight some of the important ones.
Work area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating power tool. Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.
Electrical safety
These tools must be grounded. They must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
relevant codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from user.
The controller has a thermal protection and a protection by means of fuses in conformance with the major electrical safety
requirements as set forth in the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, amended by directive 93/68/EEC. Never replace the fuses
by fuses of higher value. Never replace both fuses by a short-circuit.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain and wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked «W-A» or «W». These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
The operator must stay alert, watch what he/she is doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
