Noise emission information in accordance with the Ger-
man Product Safety Act (ProdSG) and the EC Machine
Directive: the noise pressure level at the place of work

General safety information for power tools
Warning! Read all safety-related information
and safety instructions!
Failure to observe the
safety information and instructions may result in
electric shock, burns and/or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instructions for
future reference.
The term ‘power tool’ as used in the safety information
and instructions includes both mains-operated tools
(with power cord) and battery-operated tools (without
power cord).
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working area clean, tidy and well-lit.
Disorder and poorly lit working areas may result in
accidents.
b) Do not operate the power 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 while you
are operating the power tool.
Distractions may
result in the operator loosing control over the tool.
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/connectors 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 mov-
ing parts of the tool.
Damaged or tangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use ex-
clusively extension cords that are approved for
outdoor-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 envi-
ronment cannot be avoided it is highly recom-
mended to use a residual current device (RCD).
The use of an RCD reduces 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 power tool when you are tired
or under the influence of medication, drugs or
alcohol.
