◾ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in
personal injury.
◾ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the machine
in unexpected situations.
◾ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
◾ If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
machines allow you to become complacent and
ignore machine safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Machine use and care
◾ Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
◾ Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
◾ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the machine before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing machines. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
◾ Store idle machines out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
machine or these instructions to operate the
machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
◾ Maintain machines and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained machines.
◾ Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
◾ Use the machine, accessories and machine bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the machine for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
◾ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the machine in unexpected situations.

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
◾ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
◾ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
◾ Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾ Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
re or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
◾ Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions.
