•
Do not use the power tool in explosive envi-
ronments where there are flammable liquids,
gases or dusts. Power tools give off sparks
that may ignite the dust or the vapours.
•
Keep children and other persons away when
using the power tool. Distractions may cause
you to lose control over the device.
Electrical safety
•
The power tool’s mains plug must fit the
socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs in combination with
earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and
proper power outlet reduce the risk of electric
shock.
•
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating systems, cookers and
refrigerators. There is a higher risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
•
Always keep power tools away from rain
or moisture. There is a higher risk of electric
shock if water enters the power tool.
•
Do not misuse the power cable to carry, hang
or unplug the power tool. Keep the power
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or tangled power cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
When using a power tool outdoors, only use
extension leads suitable for outdoor use. Us-
ing an extension lead suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
If the power tool must be used in a damp
environment, use an earth leakage circuit
breaker. Using an earth leakage circuit breaker
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Safety of persons
•
Be attentive, watch what you are doing and
take the utmost care when working with
power tools. Do not use power tools if you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of carelessness
when using the power tool can result in serious
injuries.
•
Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal
protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protec-
tion, depending on the type of tool and the use,
reduces the risk of injuries.
•
Take measures to prevent accidental starting.
Verify the power tool is switched off before
connecting it to power and/or inserting the
battery pack, picking it up or carrying it. Leaving
your finger on the switch when carrying the
power tool or connecting it to power while it is
switched on may result in accidents.
•
Remove adjusting tools or spanners before
switching on the power tool. Leaving a tool
or spanner in a rotating part of the device can
result in injuries.
•
Avoid unnatural postures. Make sure you are
in a stable standing position and keep your bal-
ance at all times. This gives you better control
over the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught
in moving parts.
•
If dust extractors and collections can be in-
stalled, ensure these are connected and used
properly. Use of a dust extractor system can
reduce the hazards caused by dust.
•
Do not give yourself a false sense of security
and do not ignore safety rules for power tools,
even if you are familiar with the power tool
after many uses. Carelessness can result in
serious injuries within a split second.
Use and care of the power tool
•
Do not cause the device to overload. Use the
power tool intended for the job. You work
better and safer using the proper tool in the
specified performance range.
•
Do not use power tools with a defective
switch. A power tool that can no longer be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
•
Unplug from the socket and/or remove a
removable battery pack before adjusting the
device, switching accessories or putting the
device away. This precaution prevents the
power tool from starting accidentally.
•
Keep power tools out of the reach of children
when they are not in use. Do not allow persons
to use the device who is not familiar with it or
has not read these instructions. Power tools
are dangerous when used by inexperienced
persons.
