WARNING! Read all safety precautions and instructions. Failures in the compliance with these safety
precautions and instructions can cause electric shock, fire and/or heavy injuries.
Please keep these safety precautions and instructions for the future.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety precautions corresponds to mains operated electric tools (with mains cord)
and to battery operated electric tools (without mains cord).
1) Security of employment
a) Keep your working area clean and well illuminated. Disorder or unilluminated working areas can cause
accidents.
b) Do not work in explosive ambiances with the electric tool, in which there are flammable liquid, gases
or dusts. Electric tools generate sparks which can inflame the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool while using it. When being distracted,
you can lose the control on the device.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug must not be changed in any
kind. Do not use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, like tubes, heatings, cookers and fridges. There is a higher
risk of electric shock when your body is earthed.
c) Keep your electric tool away from rain or wetness. The infiltration of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not divert the cord from its intended use from carrying or hanging up the electric tool, or for
pulling the plugs from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device
parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work outside with your electric tool, only use extension cords that are appropriate for outside
use. The use of a extension cord which is appropriate for outside use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If the use of the electric tool in humid areas is inevitable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Be attentive, pay attention to what you do and go to work with the electric tool with reason. Do not
use an electric tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or pharmaceuticals.
One moment of carelessness while using an electric tool kann cause serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always goggles. The wearing of personal protective
equipment, like dust mask, skid-proof shoes, protection helmet or hearing protection, depending on the kind
and use of the electric tool reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintended start up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off before connecting it to the
mains and/or the battery, picking it up or carrying it. When you have your finger on the switch while
carrying the electric tool or connect the device to the mains when it is switched on, this can cause accidents.
d) Remove adjusting tools or wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or wrench which is
located on a turning device can cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Care for safe standing and keep the balance anytime. Do not work on a
ladder. Thus you can control the electric tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Wide clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g) If there is the possibility to assemble a dust exhauster and collecting device, make sure that these
are connected and used correctly. The use of a dust exhauster can reduce dangers by dust.
