Safety information

Work area safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit . Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flamma-
ble liquids, gases or dust . Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dustor fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool . Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet . Nev-
er 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.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators . There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain and water .
The ingress of water into a power tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply . Use of an RCD reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Pay attention, be aware of what you are doing
and go about your work with the electric
power tool prudently . Do not use any power
tools if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication . One moment of
inattentiveness when using the power tool may
lead to serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear protective goggles . The wearing
of personal protective equipment such as safety
gloves, safety goggles, non-slip safety shoes,
protective helmet or ear protection to match the
type and use of the power tool, reduces the risk
of injury.
Safety information
c) Prevent unintentional start-up . Ensure that
the power tool is switched off before connect-
ing it to the power supply and/or the power
pack, picking it up or carrying it . If you hold
your finger to the switch when carrying the power
tool or connect the device to the power supply
when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment tools or spanners
before switching the power tool on . A tool or
spanner located in a turning device component
may lead to injuries.
e) Adopt a normal posture . Ensure you are
standing securely and that you maintain your
balance at all times . This will ensure that you
can maintain better control of the power tool if
unexpected situations occur.
f) Wear suitable clothing . Do not wear any loose
clothing or jewellery . Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts . Loose hair,
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught be
moving parts.
g) 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
h) Do not lull yourself into a false sense of secu-
rity and do not defy the safety rules for power
tools, even if you are familiar with the power
tool after a lot of use . Careless handling can
lead to serious injuries in a split second.
Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overload the device . Use the electric
power tool designed for your work . Your work
is performed better and safer with the appropriate
power tool in the specified power range.
b) Do not use a power tool with a defective
switch . An electric power tool which can no lon-
ger be switched on or off is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
a detachable power pack before configuring
any device settings, changing accessory
parts or putting the device away . This precau-
tionary measure prevents the unintended start of
the power tool.
d) Keep unused power tools out of the reach of
children . Do not let any individuals use the
power tool who are unfamiliar with it or who
have not read these instructions . Electric pow-
er tools are dangerous when used by inexperi-
enced persons.
e) Treat power tools with care . Check that
moving parts work seamlessly and do not
jam; whether parts are so damaged that the
function of the power tool is impaired . Have
damaged parts repaired prior to using the
device . Many accidents originate from poorly
maintained electric power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges which are treated
with care become stuck less frequently and are
easier to run.
