Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when operating power tools. Read all instructions carefully before use.

2.1 Osobní bezpečnost

• Používejte vhodné bezpečnostní pomůcky: Always wear safety glasses or a face shield, hearing protection, and a dust mask.
• Správně se oblečte: Nenoste volné oblečení, rukavice, kravaty ani šperky, které by se mohly zachytit o pohyblivé části. Svažte si dlouhé vlasy.
• Udržujte správný postoj a rovnováhu: Nepřesahujte.
• Vyhněte se náhodnému spuštění: Před zapojením nástroje se ujistěte, že je vypínač v poloze VYPNUTO.

2.2 Bezpečnost pracovního prostoru

• Udržujte pracovní prostor čistý a dobře osvětlený: Nepořádek nebo tmavé prostory vedou k nehodám.
• Nepoužívejte elektrické nářadí ve výbušném prostředí: Nepoužívejte v přítomnosti hořlavých kapalin, plynů nebo prachu.
• Udržujte děti a přihlížející v dostatečné vzdálenosti: Rozptylování může způsobit ztrátu kontroly.

2.3 Elektrická bezpečnost

• Zabraňte kontaktu těla s uzemněnými povrchy: Jako například potrubí, radiátory, sporáky a ledničky.
• Nevystavujte elektrické nářadí dešti ani vlhku: Voda vnikající do elektrického nářadí zvyšuje riziko úrazu elektrickým proudem.
• Nezneužívejte kabel: Nikdy nepoužívejte kabel k přenášení, tažení nebo odpojování elektrického nářadí ze zásuvky. Udržujte kabel mimo dosah tepla, oleje, ostrých hran nebo pohyblivých částí.
