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 toots 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, jewelry, and long hair can get caught in moving pads.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is 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. Remember that a fraction of a second of inattention or negligence 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 is 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 accidentally 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 toots with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories, and bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. tt can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those for which they are intended to be used.

• Keep handles and grips clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles and grips make it difficult to hold the tool.

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.

USING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY-POWERED TOOLS

• Charge the batteries only with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. The use of another charger can result in the risk of personal injury and fire.
• Only use batteries intended for the power tool. The use of other batteries can result in the risk of personal injury and fire.
• Do not allow batteries to come into contact with paper dips, coins, keys, nails, screws, and other small metal objects that can result in short-circuiting. Short-circuiting the battery terminals can result in the risk of burn injuries or fire.
• Incorrect use can cause liquid to leak from the battery. Avoid touching this. Rinse with water after unintentional contact.Seek medical attention if you get battery fluid in your eyes. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burn injuries..

REDUCTION OF NOISE AND -B VIBRATIONS

• Plan the work so that exposure to heavy vibrations is spread over a longer period.

• To reduce noise and vibrations when in use, limit the time the tool is in use, and use low-power/vibration mode and suitable safety equipment. Take the following precautions to minimize the risks of exposure to vibrations and/or noise:
  — Only use the tool in accordance with these instructions
  . — Check that the tool is in good condition.
  — Use accessories in good condition, and which are suitable for the purpose.
  — Keep a firm grip on the handles/grips.
  — Maintain and lubricate the tool in accordance with these instructions.

• Dust produced during the work can be harmful to health, carcinogenic, flammable, or explosive. Use a dust filter mask and suitable equipment for dust extraction/collection.

• The dust from some alloys can catch fire, or explode. Mixtures of materials increase the risk — keep the work area clean.

WARNING
Fire risk. Dust in dust bags, vacuum cleaners, or filters can self-Ignite or be Ignited by sparks, hot workpieces, or other sources of heat, especially if it comes into contact with polyurethane, solvent-based paint, and other chemicals. Make sure that the tool and/or workpiece do not overheat. Always empty the dust container before pausing the work.

TECHNICAL DATA

*Connection to the vacuum cleaner.
Always wear ear protection.
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 62841-2-4:2014.
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).
