EN
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 result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery 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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for connecting dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
FME-EN / 1603
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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 hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific Safety Warnings
Wear hearing protection.
The effects of noise can cause loss
of hearing capacity.
