WARNING!
u
The vibration level varies in accordance with
the use of the power tool and may be higher
than the value specified in these instructions in
some cases. There is a risk of underestimation
of the vibration load if the power tool is
used regularly in this manner. Try to keep the
vibration loads as low as possible. Measures
to reduce the vibration load are, e.g. wearing
gloves and limiting the working time. Wherein
all states of operation must be included (e.g.
times when the power tool is switched off and
times where the power tool is switched on but
running without load).
NOTE
u
The vibration level specified in these
instructions has been measured in
accordance with a standardised measuring
procedure specified in EN 60745 and can
be used to make equipment comparisons. The
specified vibration emission value can also be
used to make an initial exposure estimate.
Safety warnings
Q
General power tool safety
warnings
WARNING!
u
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and / or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6.
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
