Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use
Read all the instructions carefully before use. Failure to follow all the instructions below can result in electric
shock,
fi
re and/or serious personal injury. Save these instructions for future reference.
Work area
•
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and
injuries.
•
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of
fl
ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
•
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose control of the
tool if you are distracted.
Electrical safety
•
The plug on the charger must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an
adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodi
fi
ed plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is an increased risk of electric shock if water enters
a power tool.
Personal safety
•
Stay alert. Remember to use all necessary safety precautions and common sense when working with
power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the in
fl
uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of power tool and how it is
used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection
reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Carrying a power tool with your
fi
nger on the switch can cause accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Always maintain a
fi
rm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better
control over the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-
fi
tting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose-
fi
tting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
Use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct electric tool for the planned work.
• The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
•
Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off using the power switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is
unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by
inexperienced people.
•
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Make sure that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not
jam and that no parts are incorrectly
fi
tted or damaged. Check for any other factors that could in
fl
uence
functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
•
Use the power tool in accordance with these instructions, taking into account actual working conditions and
the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those intended.
