1. SAFETY REGULATIONS

1.1. General instructions

To reduce risks of injury, anyone using, installing,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories or
working near this tool must read and understand
these 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

1.2. Workplace hazards

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.

1.3. Electrical safety

The tools and electrical equipment 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.
Never replace the fuses by fuses of higher
value. Never replace 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.
6 / 188
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 cable. Never use the cable
to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Replace damaged cables immediately.
Damaged cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cables are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.

1.4. 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. Remove
adjusting keys or switches before turning the
tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear impact-
resistant eye and face protection. Serious injury
can result from over-torqued or under-torqued
fasteners, which can break, or loosen and
separate. Released assemblies can become
projectiles. Assemblies requiring a specific
torque must be checked using a torque meter.

1.5. Tool use hazards

There is a real burning risk when in contact with
the accessible parts of the tool. The selection of
the tool and of the controller takes account of the
operating conditions as stated by the user, who
shall not exceed the operating limits as specified
by the manufacturer at the time of the selection.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch doesn't turn it on or off:
any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
