WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING
IMPORTANT, READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
NOTE: The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Safety Instructions
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
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.
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” can be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
DANGER: Moisture and electricity are not compatible:
• Make sure your hands are dry when handling and connecting the electrical cables.
• Never connect an electrical socket or a cable in a wet area (presence of puddles or damp
terrain).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
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.
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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
Personal safety
• If necessary, use an extension cord with integrated watertight and type approved sockets,
available on the market.
• The pre-installation of a charging socket, connected to the mains power network of the
building must be carried out by a qualified electrician and must be suitably protected by a
differential (RCD-Residual Current Device) with a release current compliant with legislation in
force.
• Incorrect connection can cause short circuits and serious personal injury, including death.
• To prevent interruptions in the supply of electrical power during charging operations:
- Check that the overall capacity of the electrical system is suitable,
- Connect the machine to a power socket with sufficient amperage,
- Avoid simultaneous use of other electrical appliances with high energy draw.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
10
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by
the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Service
Battery tool use and care
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
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.
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 and accessories. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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 a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Instruction
Environmental Protection
The noise and vibration levels shown in these instructions are the maximum levels of the
machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and vibrations.
Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to
high levels of noise and stress from vibration; maintain the machine well, wear ear protection
devices, and take breaks whilst working.5. Keep hands and feet away from the seat
support. There is the risk of crushing injuries.
Protecting the environment must be a significant and top priority for machine use, to the
benefit of civil co-habitation and of the environment that we live in:
Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal of packaging, deteriorated
parts or any elements with a strong environmental impact; this waste must not be
disposed of with regular waste, but must be separated and taken to collection centres,
which will recycle the materials.
Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials.
When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not dispose of it in the environment, but
take it to a waste disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away with domestic waste. According to the European
Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic equipment waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old electrical equipment must be collected separately,
for eco-compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps or in landfills,
hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and contaminate the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being.
For further information on the disposal of this product, contact your dealer or a domestic
waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose of batteries with all due care and in
compliance with applicable local Li-Ion legislation. Batteries contain materials
classified as hazardous for people and the environment. They must be removed
and disposed of separately at a facility that accepts Li-Ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products and packaging allows the materials
to be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled materials help to prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials.
