SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal safety
Power tool use and care
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operaing 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.
•
•
•
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.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protetctive equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool´s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
•
•
•
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
•
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in hazardous situations.
•
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
•
•
•
Never use a machine that has been modified in any way
from its original specification.
Remain at a distance from the blades when the engine is
running.
Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the area to be cut.
Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed.
Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make
sure that sparks are not caused when cutting in view of
the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused
on the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
!
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition.These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists.
•
The guard for the cutting equipment must always be on
when the machine is running.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
unsing only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Cutting blades
•
Do not store or transport the power cutter with the cutting
blade fitted. All blades should be removed from the cutter
after use and stored carefully.
•
Special care should be taken with abrasive discs.
Abrasive discs must be stored on a flat, level surface. If an
abrasive disc is stored in humid conditions, this can cause
imbalance and result in injury.
•
Inspect new blades for transport or storage damage.
