F.F. Group SBDS 370 PLUS, Original Instructions Manual

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!  Read  all  safety  warnings  and 

all instructions.

 Failure to follow the warn-

ings and instructions may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save  all  warnings  and  instructions  for 

future reference.

 The term “power tool” in 

the warnings refers to your mains-operated 

(corded) power tool or battery-operated 

(cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA

f

Keep  work  area  clean  and  well  lit.

 Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents.

f

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo

-

spheres,  such  as  in  the  presence  of  flammable 

liquids,  gases  or  dust.

 Power tools create sparks 

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

f

Keep children and bystanders away while oper

-

ating a power tool.

 Distractions can cause you to 

lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

f

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt

-

er  plugs  with  earthed  (grounded)  power  tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 

risk of electric shock.

f

Avoid  body  contact  with  earthed  or  grounded 

surfaces,  such  as  pipes,  radiators,  ranges  and 

refrigerators.

 There is an increased risk of electric 

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

f

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi

-

tions.

 Water entering a power tool will increase the 

risk of electric shock.

f

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car

-

rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep 

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving 

parts.

 Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk 

of electric shock.

f

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an 

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

 Use of a 

cord suitable for outdoor operation reduces the risk 

of electric shock.

f

If  operating  a  power  tool  in  a  damp  location  is 

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) 

protected supply.

 Use of an RCD reduces the risk of 

electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

f

Stay  alert,  watch  what  you  are  doing  and  use 

common sense when operating a power tool. Do 

not use a power tool while you are tired or under 

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

 A 

moment of inattention while operating power tools 

may result in serious personal injury.

f

Use  personal  protective  equipment.  Always 

wear  eye  protection.

  Protective  equipment  such 

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or 

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions 

will reduce personal injuries.

f

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch 

is in the off-position before connecting to power 

source,  picking  up  or  carrying  the  tool.

 Carrying 

power tools with your finger on the switch or ener

-

gizing  power  tools  that  have  the  switch  on  invites 

accidents.

f

Remove  any  adjusting  key  or  wrench  before 

turning the power tool on.

 A wrench or a key left 

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may 

result in personal injury.

f

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal

-

ance at all times.

 This enables better control of 

the power tool in unexpected situations.

f

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelery.  Keep  your  hair,  clothing  and  gloves 

away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewelery 

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

f

If  devices  are  provided  for  the  connection  of 

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure 

these are connected and properly used.

 Use of 

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

f

Do  not  force  the  power  tool.  Use  the  correct 

power  tool  for  your  application.

 The correct 

power tool will do the job better and safer at the 

rate for which it was designed.

f

Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot be 

turned  on  and  off.

 Any power tool that cannot be 

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be 

repaired.

f

Disconnect the plug from the power source be

-

fore making any adjustments, changing accesso

-

ries, or storing power tools.

 Such preventive safe

-

ty measures reduce the risk of starting the power 

tool accidentally.

f

Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil

-

dren  and  do  not  allow  persons  unfamiliar  with 

the power tool or these instructions to operate 

the power tool.

 Power tools are dangerous in the 

hands of untrained users.

f

Maintain  power  tools.  Check  for  misalignment 

or  binding  of  moving  parts,  breakage  of  parts 

and  any  other  condition  that  may  affect  the 

power  tools  operation.  If  damaged,  have  the 

power tool repaired before use.

 Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f

Keep  cutting  tools  sharp  and  clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

f

Use  the  power  tool  accessories  and  tool  bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak

-

ing into account the working conditions and the 

work to be performed. 

Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended could re

-

sult in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

Have  your  power  tool  maintained  in  operation 

by  an  authorized  service  and  use  only  original 

spare parts.

 This will ensure that the safety of the 

power tool is maintained.
