Safety Instructions
When using power tools, always observe the safety regulations
applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the
instruction manual.
General
1) Keep work area clean
ʵ Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2) Consider work area environment
ʵ Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp
or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250–300
Lux). Do not use the tool where there is a risk of causing
fire or explosion, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids
and gases.
3) Keep children away
ʵ Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the
work area or to touch the tool or the mains cable.
4) Dress properly
ʵ Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to
keep long hair out of the way. When working outdoors,
preferably wear suitable gloves and non-slip footwear.
5) Personal protection
ʵ Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask
whenever the operations may produce dust or flying
particles. If these particles might be considerably hot, also
wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear protection at all
times. Wear a safety helmet at all times.
6) Guard against electric shock
ʵ Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g. pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators). When using the
tool under extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity, when
metal swarf is being produced, etc.), electric safety can be
improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI)
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
7) Do not overreach
ʵ Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8) Stay alert
ʵ Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the tool when you are tired.
9) Secure workpiece
ʵ Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
10) Connect dust extraction equipment
ʵ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure that these are connected
and properly used.
11) Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
ʵ Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are
removed from the tool before operating the tool.
12) Extension cables
ʵ Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace
if damaged. When using the tool outdoors, only
use extension cables intended for outdoor use and
marked accordingly.
13) Use appropriate tool
ʵ The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was intended. Do not force the tool.

WARNING: The use of any accessory or attachment or
performance of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction manual may present
a risk of personal injury.
14) Check for damaged parts
ʵ Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable for
damage. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving
parts, breakage of parts, damage to guards and switches
and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Do not use the tool if any part is
damaged or defective. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Have any damaged or defective
parts replaced by an authorised D
Never attempt any repairs yourself.
15) Unplug tool
ʵ Switch off and wait for the tool to come to a complete
standstill before leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool
when not in use, before changing any parts of the tools,
accessories or attachments and before servicing.
16) Avoid unintentional starting
ʵ Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure
that the tool is switched off before plugging in.
17) Do not abuse cord
ʵ Never carry the tool by its cord. Never pull the cord to
disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
