children and outsiders to the place of work. A lack of concentration may result in a loss of control over the tool.
Electric safety
The plug of the power supply cable must fi t the mains socket. Do not modify the plug. Do not use any adapters whatsoever
in order to adapt the plug to the socket. Unmodifi ed plug which fi ts the socket reduces the risk of an electric shock. Avoid
contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, heaters and refrigerators. Grounding of the body increases the risk of an
electric shock. Do not expose electric tools to precipitation or humidity. Water and humidity which gets into the electric tool
increases the risk of an electric shock. Do not overload the power supply cable. Do not use the power supply cable in order
to carry the tool or to connect and disconnect the plug from the mains socket. Avoid contact of the power supply cable
with heat, oils, sharp tools and moving elements. Damage to the power supply cable increases the risk of an electric shock.
In case work is realised outside closed areas, it is necessary to use extension cords designed for applications outside
closed areas. Using a correct extension cord permits to reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
Commence work in good physical and psychological conditions. Pay attention to what you do. Do not work if you
are tired or under eff ects of medicines or alcohol. Even a moment's inattention during work may lead to serious injuries.
Always use individual means of protection. Always wear goggles. Using individual means of protection, such as dust-masks,
protective shoes, helmets and hearing protections permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries. Avoid accidental activation of
the tool. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position, before you connect the tool to the mains. Holding the tool with a fi nger
on the switch or connecting an electric tool when the switch is in the ON position may lead to serious injuries. Before you turn an
electric tool on remove all the spanners and other tools, which have been used for adjustments. A spanner left on rotating
elements of the tool may lead to serious injuries. Keep your balance. Maintain an appropriate position. It will permit to control
the electric tool in case of unpredicted situations during its operation. Use protective clothes. Do not wear loose clothes or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving elements of the electric tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair may get caught on moving elements of the tool. Use dust extractors or dust containers, if the tool is equipped with
any. Make sure they are properly connected. Using of dust extractors permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries.
Caution when using a power tool.
Before inserting a battery pack make sure that the switch stays in "OFF" position. Inserting a battery pack into a power tool,
when the switch is in "ON" position may cause accidents.
Use only chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger designed for only one type of battery pack, to charge
other types of battery pack may be a cause of fi re.
Use power tools only with battery pack specifi ed by the manufacturer. Use of other battery pack may be a cause of injuries
or fi re.
When the battery pack is not used, it should be stored away from metal objects, such as paper clips, coins, nails, bolts or
other small metal elements, that may short the terminals. Shorting terminals of a battery may cause burns or fi re.
In adverse conditions, a liquid may escape from a battery; avoid any contact with this liquid. In case of accidental contact
with a liquid, rinse with water. If a liquid gets into your eyes, please seek medical advice. A liquid escaping from a battery
may cause irritations or burns.
Repairs
Have the tool repaired solely by authorised workshops, where original spare parts are used. This will ensure the adequate
safety of operation of the electric tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
During work, where the inserted tool may touch a hidden live conductor, hold the electric tool by the insulated handles.
Any contact with „live conducts" may also cause the metal parts of the tool to be live, which might cause electric shock to the
operator.
During work wear dust masks. Inhalation of the dust generated during work may be harmful. If the tool is equipped with an
extractor to remove the dust generated during work, it must be installed and used in accordance with the manual.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Attention! All activities associated with the installation and replacement of saw blades, their adjustment and the
maintenance of a power tool should be carried out when the operating voltage of the tool is switched off , therefore,
before the further proceedings, you should carry out the following steps: Remove the battery pack from the power tool
socket!
Safety recommendations for battery loading
