Safety Instructions
WARNING
Read all safety instructions, instruction illustrations
and technical specifications provided for this power
tool.
Failure to observe the following instructions can
result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injuries.
Keep all safety instructions and precautions for
future reference.
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-operated power tools (with mains
power lead) and battery-operated power tools
(without mains power cable).
2.1 Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidiness and unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Never use the power tool in potentially
explosive environments containing
flammable liquids, gases or dusts.
Power tools generate sparks which can ignite
dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and other persons away from
the power tool during use.
A moment’s distraction can cause you to lose
control of the machine.
2.2 Electrical safety
a) The connecting plug of the power tool must
fit in the plug socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs in conjunction with power tools with
protective earth conductor.
Unmodified plugs and properly fitting plug
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces such as pipes, heaters, cookers
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of an electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep power tools away from rain and
moisture.
The ingress of water into a power tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do misuse the cable in any way by using it
to carry or hang up the power tool or to pull
the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
machine parts.
Damaged or kinked cables increase the risk of
an electric shock.
e) When working with a power tool outdoors,
use only extension leads that are suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of an extension lead suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If the use of the power tool in a damp
environment is unavoidable, use a residual
current circuit breaker.
Use of a residualcurrent circuit breaker (RCCB
with 10 mA maximum tripping current) reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
2.3 Safety of people
a) Always work carefully, attentively and
sensibly when using a power tool. Do not
use the power tools if you are tired or are
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while using the power
tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear goggles.
The wearing of personal protective equipment,
such as dust mask, nonslip safety shoes,
helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type
and application of the power tools, reduces the
risk of injuries.
c) Avoid accidental switching on of the power
tool. Ensure that the power tool is switched
off before connecting it to the mains power
supply and/or connecting the battery and
before picking up or carrying the tool.
If you have your finger on the switch when
carrying the power tool or you connect the tool
to the power supply when it is switched on, this
can lead to accidents.
d) Remove the adjusting tools or wrenches
before switching on the power tool.
A tool or wrench in a rotating part of the tool can
result in injuries.
