Electrical safety
• The plug of the electrical tool must fit into the socket. The plug must not be altered in any
way whatsoever. Do not use an adapter plug with electrical tools with protective earthing.
Unchanged plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigera-
tors.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Keep electrical tools away from rain and wet.
The penetration of water into an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry the electrical tool, hang it up or pull the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving product parts.
Damaged or entangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
• If the cord is damaged it may only be replaced by customer service.
• If you use an electrical tool outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for outdoor use.
The use of an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• When operating the electrical tool in a damp environment cannot be avoided, use a fault
current circuit breaker with a trip current of 30 mA or less.
The use of a fault circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Be vigilant, watch what you are doing and proceed with caution when working with an elec-
trical tool. Do not use electrical tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
Momentary distraction when using the electrical tool can result in serious injury.
• Wear personal protective equipment and always use safety goggles.
Wearing personal safety equipment such as dust mask, anti-slip safety shoes, safety hel-
met or hearing protection appropriate for the electrical tool type and application reduces
the risk of injury.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the electrical tool is switched off before it is con-
nected to the power supply and/or battery, removed or carried.
Carrying the electrical tool with your finger on the switch or connected to the power supply
can lead to accidents.
• Remove the setting tools or spanners before switching on the electrical tool.
A tool or spanner left in a rotating part of the product can result in injury.
• Avoid an abnormal posture. Make sure you are standing securely and remain balanced at
all times.
This will enable you to keep better control of the electrical tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught up in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be fitted, make sure that they are connected
and used correctly.
Using a dust extractor can reduce the risks caused by dust.
