General safety instructions
Always use the tool with a residual current device.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
Keep the workplace environment safe. Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions. Do
not use power tools in damp or wet areas. Make sure the work area is well lit. Do not use power
tools in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
Protect against the risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
Keep children at a safe distance. Do not allow onlookers to touch the tool or the extension cord.
Onlookers should be kept away from the work area.
Put away tools that are not being used. When not in use, store the tool in a dry place out of the
reach of children.
Do not force the tool. It is better and safer to work within the quoted power range.
Use the correct tool. Do not force small tools or accessories to perform jobs that require a powerful
tool.
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. They can get caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip shoes are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
a hair net if you have long hair.
Wear safety glasses, a face mask or dust filter mask, ear protection and gloves.
Be careful with the power cord. Never carry the tool by the cord. Never pull the power cord to
remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance.
Maintain the tool in good order. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better, safer work. Follow
the instructions for lubrication and replacement of accessories. Check power cords regularly. If
damaged, they must be replaced at an authorised service centre. Check extension cords at regular
intervals, and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and
grease.
Always unplug the power cord when the tool is not being used, and before carrying out service
work or changing accessories, such as blades, bits or discs.
Always check that adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools have been removed before
starting the tool.
Avoid accidental starting. Never carry a power tool with your finger on the switch when it is
connected to the mains. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
power cord.
If using the machine outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Pay attention to what you are doing. Always be careful when using the equipment. Use your
common sense. Do not use the tool if you are tired.
Check for damaged parts. If a guard or some other part has been damaged, check carefully before
using the tool to ensure that it will operate correctly and as intended. Make sure that moving parts
are properly adjusted and do not jam and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for
other factors that could affect the operation of the power tool. Guards or other parts that are
damaged must be repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre, unless otherwise specified
in these instructions. If the power switch does not work, it must be replaced by an authorised
service centre. Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off using the power switch.

Instructions can result in personal injury.
