General safety rules
for electric tools
Read and understand all instructions.
WARNING
Failure to follow all instructions 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 atmospheres
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, 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 electorBtool continue to run when not
attended - switch it off. Do not leave the electro-tool until
the tool has come to a complete standstill
Electrical Safety
Before connecting the electro-tool, 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 conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. 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 inattention while operating a
power tool may result in serious 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 t he switch or plugging a tool th at i s switched on invites
an accident.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches 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 at
all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 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 unstable 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 better 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 t h at c annot be c ontrolled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store tools when not in use out of reach of children 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 easier 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 accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Do not make changes to the electro-tool or use it for
purposes other that those described in the "Intended
Use" Section. Any modification is a misuse and can lead to
serious injuries.
