APPLICATION
The light of this power tool is intended to illuminate
the power tool’s direct area of working operation
and is not suitable for household room illumination.
WARNING! Read this manual and
general safety instructions
carefully before using the
appliance, for your own safety.
Your power tool should only be
passed on together with these
instructions.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
When using the machine, always observe the
enclosed safety instructions
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to
heed warnings and follow instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety
warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to
your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
Working area
Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and
dark areas can lead to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially
explosive surroundings, for example, in the
presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders at a distance when
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control of it.
Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of an electric shock if
your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of an electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a
residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention when operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk
of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools when the switch is in the on position
makes accidents more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before
turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not rush. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This allows better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
If there are devices for connecting dust extraction
and collection facilities, please ensure that they are
attached and used correctly. Using such devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it
can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to
do. A power tool will achieve better results and be
safer if used in the context for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn
it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store power tools, when not in use, out of the
reach of children and do not allow people who are
not familiar with the power tool or these instructions
to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
