1) SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Disorder and a darkened workplace is conducive to accidents.
• Do not use power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust or fumes.
• Do not allow children or other young persons to work with the tool. A moment of inattention can cause you to lose
control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• The device plug must be fitted to the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not make any ground adapters. Original
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or high humidity. The ingress of water into the power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
• Never use the cable as a cord. Never use a cable to carry, pull or unplug the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. A damaged or entangled power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
• When using a power tool for outdoor work, use an extension cord for outdoor use. Using the correct extension cord for external
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If you must use a power tool in a room with high humidity, use additional protection in the form of a residual current device
(RCD). The use of an RCD switch reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
• Be careful, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using tools. Do not use power tools while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol or under the influence of medication. A moment of inattention while
working with a power tool can cause serious injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear protective glasses. The use of protective equipment, such as a dust
mask, non-slip work shoes, helmet, hearing protection, adapted to the appropriate conditions reduces the risk of injury.
• Prevent accidental operation of devices. Make sure the switch is in the off position before connecting the device to a
power source or battery before packing, lifting or moving the device.
• When moving the power tool with your finger on the switch or with the power on, you run the risk of an accident.
• Remove the disc adjustment key before turning on the power tool. The tool or wrench left in the rotating part of the
power tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overestimate your abilities. Keep proper posture and body balance all the time, it will allow you to control the tool
in unforeseen situations.
• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be screwed in by moving parts.
• If the device is suitable for connecting a dust separating device or chip holder, make sure that they are properly attached.
Using dust removal equipment will reduce the risk of inhaling dust and dust.

4) APPLICATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POWER TOOLS
• Do not overload the device. Use the power tool as intended.
• Choose a tool for the operation according to what activities have been designed and you will do the job better and safer.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off properly.
• Devices that you can not control with the switch become dangerous and must be repaired immediately.
• Unplug the power plug or disconnect the battery before making any adjustments, replacing accessories or before putting
the power tool back, and you risk the accidental starting of the power tool.
• Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow mentally impaired or unauthorized persons to work
with power tools or people who have not read this manual. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
inexperienced users.
• Check for looseness or loose attachment of moving parts, cracks and all other things that may affect their function. In the
event of damage, have the tool repaired before the next use. Many accidents result from improper maintenance of
power tools.
• Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to be stuck and easier
to control.
• Use power tools, accessories and tools, bits and etc. according to the instructions in the manual, taking into account the
type of work that will be performed. Using power tools for work that is not in accordance with their intended use may
increase the risk of an accident.
5) USE AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTERIES
• Charge batteries only in the original chargers provided by the manufacturer.
• The charger is only suitable for a specific type of battery, used with another type of battery may result in a risk of
ignition.
• Use the power tool only with dedicated batteries. Using a different battery can result in injury and ignition.
• If you do not use the battery, keep it away from other metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal parts that could cause a short circuit. Shorting contacts may cause burns or ignition.
• Under specific conditions, fluid may spill out of the battery, avoid contact with it. If contact occurs, rinse with water.
If the liquid gets into your eyes, contact your doctor. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
Servicing and repair work may only be carried out by qualified technicians using original spare parts. Observing
the instructions for maintenance and repair will extend the life of the tools and guarantee work safety.
