General safety instructions
Attention! All instructions must be read. Errors in heeding the instructions given below
could cause electric shock, burning and/or serious injuries.
The subsequently used term „power tool“ refers to mains powered electrical tools (with
power cord) and to battery-powered electrical tools (without power cord).
Keep these instructions in a safe place!
1. Work area
a. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Untidiness and unlighted workspaces can
lead to accidents.
b. Do not work with this device in an explosive environment where flammable
liquids, gasses or dusts are located. Electrical tools produce sparks that can ignite
dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and other persons at a safe distance when using the electric tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
a. The connector plug of the device must fit into the power outlet. The plug cannot
be modified in any way. Do not use adapter plugs in conjunction with grounded
devices. Unaltered plugs and suitable power outlets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
b. Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, heaters, stoves,
and refrigerators. Increased risk of electric shock exists when your body is grounded.
c. Keep the device away from rain or moisture. The penetration of moisture into an
electric device increases the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not use the cable for any purpose other than its intended purpose; do not
use the cable to carry or hang up the device; do not pull the plug out of the
power outlet via the cable. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving device parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
e. When you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cords that are
approved for outdoor use. Use of an extension cord that is approved for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating the power tool in a damp environment cannot be avoided, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter. The use of a ground fault circuit interrupter reduces
the risk of electric shock.
