1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
FOR ELECTRIC TOOLS
Read and understand all in
structions. Failure to follow all in#
structions listed below may result in
electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Save these Instructions!
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos
pheres such as in the presence of flammable liq
uids, gases, or dust. Power tools generate sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Do not let the electortool continue to run when
not attended switch it off. Do not leave the elec#
tro#tool until the tool has come to a complete stand#
still.
Electrical Safety
Before connecting the electrotool, ensure that
the voltage of the power source agrees with that
give on the nameplate or deviates by a maximum
of no more than 10 %. If the voltage of the power
source is not compatible with the voltage required by
the electro#tool, a serious accident and damage to the
electro#tool can result.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your
body is earthed.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to car
ry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immedi
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical
shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of in#
attention while operating a power tool may result in se#
rious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become
caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is
off before inserting the plug. Carrying a tool with
your finger on the switch or plugging a tool that is
switched on invites an accident.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn
ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal in#
jury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec
tion. A dust mask, non#skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used as appropriate for the
conditions.
Power Tool Handling and Usage
Use clamps or other practical means to secure
and support the work piece on a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is un#
stable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job bet#
ter and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source be
fore making any adjustments, changing acces
sories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden#
tally.
Store tools when not in use out of reach of chil
dren and other inexperienced persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are eas#
ier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci#
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Do not make changes to the electrotool or use it
for purposes other that those described in the
"Intended Use" Section. Any modification is a mis#
use and can lead to serious injuries.
