Operating Instructions

2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool
must fit into the mains socket. The
plug must not be modified in any
way. Do not use adapter plugs/con-
nectors in combination with tools
with protective earthing.
Unmodified
plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or
moisture in general.
The penetration
of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord to carry or hang
up the tool or to pull the plug out of
the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges or moving
parts of the tool.
Damaged or tangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use exclusively extension
cords that are approved for out-
door-use.
The use of an extension cord
that is suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a
moist environment cannot be avoid-
ed it is highly recommended to use
a residual current device (RCD).
The
use of an RCD reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you
do and apply reasonable care when
working with a power tool. Do not
use the power tool when you are
tired or under the influence of medi
-
cation, drugs or alcohol.
When work-
ing with power tools, even a short
moment of inattentiveness may result
in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear eye protection
(safety goggles).
Wearing personal
protection equipment as a dust mask,
nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or
ear protectors (depending on the type
and application of the tool) reduces the
risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make
sure that the power tool is switched
off before you connect it to the mains
supply and/or the battery and whenev-
er you pick up or carry the tool.
When
carrying the tool with your finger on the
on/off switch or connecting the tool to
the mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’
position, this may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrench-
es and the like before you switch the
power tool on.
A wrench or other tool
that is inside or on a rotating part of the
tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure
to have a safe footing and keep your
balance at all times.
This will allow
you to better control the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear
wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothes and gloves clear of all
moving parts.
Loose clothing, jew-
ellery or long hair may get caught in
moving parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices
are provided make sure that they are
connected and used properly.
The
use of a dust extraction device may
reduce risks caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use
the power tool intended for your type
