WARNING! In the use of electric machines and power tools, it is necessary to respect and follow the following safety instructions for the reasons of protection against electric shock, personal injury and danger of fire. The term “power tool” in the instructions below refers both to mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Workplace

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas in the workplace invite accidents. Store power tools that you don’t currently use.
• Do not operate power tools in environments with danger of occurrence of a fire or explosion, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep unauthorised persons, especially children, away from the work area while operating a power tool! Distractions can cause you to lose control over the performed activity. In no event leave your power tool unattended. Keep the equipment away from animals.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the mains socket outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
• Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Undamaged plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Damaged or fouled supply cables increase the risk of electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a new power cord which is available at the authorised service centre or the importer.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Never touch the power tool with wet hands. Never wash the power tool under running water or immerse it in water.
• Never use the supply cable for other than intended purposes. Never use the cord for carrying or pulling the power tool. Never unplug the plug from the outlet by pulling the cable. Keep electric cables away from sharp or hot objects to prevent mechanical damage.
• The power tool was designed to be powered solely by alternating electric current. Always check if the electric voltage matches the information specified in the type label of the power tool.
• Never use power tool with damaged electric cable or plug or which has been dropped or is in any way damaged.
• If an extension cord is used, always check whether its technical parameters match the information specified in the type label of the power tool. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. If extension drums are used, these must be rolled out to prevent overheating of the cord.
• If a power tool is operated in a damp location or outdoors, its operation is only permitted if connected to an electric circuit protected by a residual current device <30 mA. Use of residual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only as the cutting or drilling tool may contact hidden wiring or its own power cord during operation.

Personal Safety

• Be careful, stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating a power tool. Concentrate on your work. 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. Do not eat, drink and smoke while operating a power tool.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Use protective equipment corresponding to the type of work you are doing. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used in accordance with the working conditions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Do not carry the power tool while it is energized or with your finger on the switch or trigger. Ensure the switch or trigger is in the “off” position before connecting to power source. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on may result in serious injuries.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. An adjusting wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Never overestimate your own capabilities. Never use power tools while you are tired.
• Dress properly. Wear work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, gloves and other part of your body away from moving or hot parts of the power tool.
• Connect the equipment to dust exhaustion. If the tools are provided for the connection of dust collection or exhaustion devices, ensure these are properly connected and used. Use of such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Fix the work-piece tightly. Use a cabinet clamp or a cramp to fix the work-piece you are about to machine.
• Never use power tools if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or other narcotic or addictive substances.
• This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensual or mental capacities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they are supervised or instructed about the use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to make sure they are not playing with the equipment.

Power Tool Use and Maintenance

• Always disconnect the power tool from the mains in case of any problem during the work, before cleaning the power tool or its maintenance, during each transportation and after the completion of the work! Never operate a power tool if it is damaged in any way.
• Immediately stop working if the power tool generates abnormal noise or smell.
• Do not overload the power tool. The power tool will operate better and safer if it is used at the rate for which it was designed. Use correct power tool which is intended for the given activity.
• The correct power tool will do the job it was designed for better and safer.
• Do not use the power tool if it cannot be safely turned on and off using the control switch.
• Use of such power tool is dangerous. Defective switches must be repaired by a certified service provider.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or maintenance. Such preventive safety measure prevents the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons. Power tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Store the power tools in a dry and safe place.
• Keep the power tool in good condition. Check the adjustment of moving parts and their mobility. Check for any damage to the protective guards or other parts which could affect safe operation of the power tool. If damaged, have the power tool properly repaired before further use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges facilitate work, reduce the risk of injury and are easier to control. Use of accessories other than those specified in the instructions for use could result in damage to the power tool and cause injuries.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for purposes other than those the power tool was intended for could result in hazardous situations.

Use of Cordless Power Tools

• Before inserting the battery, make sure the switch is in the “0-OFF” position. Inserting a battery into a switched-on power tool could result in hazardous situations.
• Charge batteries only using the chargers prescribed by the manufacturer. Using a charger intended for other battery type could result in its damage and occurrence of fire.
• Use only batteries intended for particular power tool. Use of different batteries could cause injury or occurrence of fire.
• If the battery is not used, keep it separately from metal objects such as clamps, keys, bolts and other small metal items which could cause connection of one battery contact with the other. Short-circuiting the battery could result in injury, burns or occurrence of fire.
• Handle the batteries with care. Rough handling could result in leak of chemical substance from the battery. Avoid contact with such substance and if, nonetheless, any contact occurs wash the affected area under running water. If eyes get into contact with the chemical substance seek immediately medical aid. Chemical substance from the battery can cause serious injuries.
