2. General Safety Instructions

Always observe the following basic safety precautions when using electric tools to reduce the risk of electric shock, injury, and fire.

2.1. Work Area Safety

• Keep the 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.

2.2. Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
• 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.

2.3. Personal Safety

• Always wear eye protection. Use a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

2.4. Tool Use and Care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• 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.
• 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.

5.2. Adjusting Oscillation Speed

The tool features continuously adjustable oscillation speed, allowing you to match the speed to the material and application.
