SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

warning

Read all warnings, safety instructions, and other instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. Save these instructions and safety instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA

• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
•  Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gas, or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• The plug on the power tool must match the PowerPoint. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the PowerPoint. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets, and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry.
• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, Jewellery, and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment are available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such equipment can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.
• Do not allow the fact that you are used to working with similar tools cause you to become over-confident and disregard the safety instructions for the tool. A moment of inattention or carelessness can result in serious personal injury.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, and bits

SERVICE

• The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
• A damaged power cord or plug must be replaced by an authorized service center or other qualified personnel to ensure safe use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING BLADES

• Only use insertion tools if you are familiar with them.
• Pay attention to the maximum permitted speed. The maximum speed specified on the tool being used must not be exceeded. Keep within the speed range, if one is specified.
• Pay attention to the direction of the motor, the blade, and the gear.
• Do not use any tools that have cracks. Remove any cracked tools. It is not permitted to repair these.
• Remove dirt, grease, oil, and water from the clamp’s surfaces.
• Do not use loose reduction rings or equivalent to reduce the hole in saw blades.
• Make sure that the fixed reduction rings are the same diameter as the tool they are secured with, and at least 1/3 of the average diameter. Check that fixed reduction rings are parallel with each other.
• Handle insertion tools with care. These are best stored in their original packaging or in special containers. Wear safety gloves to improve your grip and further reduce the risk of damage.
• Check that all safety devices are properly secured by using tool inserts.
• Make sure that the toolset you are using corresponds to the power tool’s technical requirements and is properly secured.
• Only use the supplied blade for sawing wood, never for working on metal.

The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardized test method can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841-3-1:2014.|

warning
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is, therefore, necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).
