Safety instructions
J
Risk of Explosion! Do not work with
the appliance in areas subject to the risk
of explosions, those in which flammable liquids,
gases or dusts are located. Electrical tools
produce sparks, which could ignite the dust or the
vapours.
J
Keep children and other third parties
at a distance when using electrical
hand tools.
If distracted, you could lose the control over the
appliance.
Electrical safety
Avoid mortal danger through
electric shock:
J
The power plug of the appliance must fit
correctly into the wall socket. The plug may
not be altered in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs together with earthed appliances.
Non-modified plugs and appropriate wall sockets
reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock.
J
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrocution if
your body is earthed.
J
Protect the appliance from rain and
moisture. The permeation of water into
an electrical appliance increases the risk of you
receiving an electric shock.
J
Do not misuse the power cable, e.g. to carry the
appliance, to hang it up or for pulling the plug
from the wall socket. Keep the power cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
appliance parts.
Damaged or tangled cables and defective plugs
increase the risk of you receiving an electric shock.
J
Damaged appliances, power cables
and power plugs mean potentially
fatal risks from electric shock.
J
Regularly check the condition of the appliance,
the power cable, the power plug and, if need be,
the charger and the battery pack.
J
When working outdoors, use only extension
cables which are certified for use outdoors.
The use of an extension cable certified for use
outdoors reduces the risk of an electric shock.
J
Do not take appliances into use that have
damaged components. In a case of emergency,
immediately disconnect the power supply.
J
Warning! - Never open the appliance.
Arrange for repair or component replacement
work to be carried out by the service centre or
specialists for electrical repairs.
Personal safety
J
Always be alert and be aware of what you are
doing. Use lots of common sense when working
with electrical appliances. Do not use such ap-
pliances when you are unconcentrated or tired,
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cations. Simply a few moments of inattention in
the use of an electrical appliance can lead to seri-
ous personal injuries.
J
Wear personal protective gear and
always wear safety glasses. The
wearing of personal protective clothing
such as dust masks, anti-slip safety shoes, pro-
tective gloves, hard helmet and hearing protec-
tion can, depending on the use of the electrical
appliance, reduce the risk of injuries.
J
Avoid unintentional starting of the appliance.
Make certain that the switch is in the "OFF"
position before you insert the plug into the power
socket. If you have a finger on the ON / OFF
switch while carrying the appliance or the appli-
ance is already switched on when it is connected
to the power supply, this can result in accidents.
J
Remove setup tools or screw keys before
switching the appliance on.
A tool or key in a spinning appliance component
can cause serious injuries.
J
Do not overestimate yourself. Ensure you have
a secure positioning and are in balance at all
times. This allows you much better control over
the appliance, especially in unexpected situations.
J
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving components. Wear a hair net
if you have long hair. Loose clothing and clothing
that is not close against the body as well as
jewellery and hair can be caught by moving parts.
