4. General safety instructions
Attention!
Read all instructions contained herein. Fail-
ure to observe the following instructions may result in
electric shock, burns and/or severe injury. The term
‘power tool’ used in the following includes both mains-
operated tools (with mains supply) and battery-operated
tools (without mains supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
!
1) Working area
a) Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy
and poorly lit working areas may lead to ac-
cidents.
b) Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive
environments containing combustible fluids,
gases or dusts.
Power tools generate sparks that
may ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away when
you are operating the power tool.
Distractions
may result in the operator loosing control over
the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces
as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body earthed.
b) Keep the tool out of the rain.
The penetration
of water into a power tool increases the risk of
electric 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 tool when you are tired or un-
der the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol.
When working with power tools even a short mo-
ment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and al-
ways 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 use of the
tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the
like before you switch the tool on.
A wrench or
another tool that is inside or on a turning part of the
tool may cause injury.
d) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care
of a safe footing and keep your balance at all
times.
This will allow you to better control the tool
in unexpected situations.
e) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and
gloves clear of all moving parts.
Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving
parts.
f) If dust extraction/collection devices are pro-
vided make sure that they are connected and
used properly.
The use of these devices reduces
hazards caused by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power
tool intended for your type of work in each
case.
The use of the suitable power tool within the
stated range of performance makes working more
effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch.
A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any
more is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Store power tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow persons to use the tool if they are not
familiar with the tool or these instructions.
Power
tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced
persons.
d) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check
whether moving parts are working properly
and are not jamming/sticking, and whether
parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a
way that affects the function of the tool. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the tool.
Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.
e) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thoroughly
looked-after cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are jamming less often and are easier to guide.
f) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the way prescribed for the respective type
of tool. You should also consider the working
conditions and the work to be carried out.
The
use of power tools for purposes other than those
intended for the respective tool may result in dan-
gerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified tech-
nical personnel only; repairs should be carried
out using exclusively original spare parts.
This
will ensure the safe operation of the power tool.
Emissions
- The specified vibration emission value was measured
by a standardized test methods and can compare with
other power tools are used.
- The specified vibration emission value can also be
necessary for the assessment of work breaks are
used.
- The specified vibration emission value can vary dur-
ing the actual use of the electric tool by specifying the
