General Safety Instructions
Caution! Read all instructions. The non-observation of the instructions
mentioned below may cause an electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries. The
term “electric tool” mentioned below refers to mains-operated electric tools
(with a power cord) and to rechargeable electric tools (without power cord).
Keep these instructions for use in a safe place.
1) Workplace
(a) Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Untidy and badly illuminated work
areas may lead to accidents.
(b) Do not operate this machine in potentially explosive environments
containing combustible liquids, gases or dusts. Electric tools send out
sparks which may ignite dust or vapours.
(c) Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool during use.
When distracted, you may lose control over the apparatus.
2) Electric safety
(a) The plug of the machine has to be suitable for the socket. The connector
may not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug together
with earthed devices. Unchanged connectors and fitting sockets reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
(b) Avoid body contact to earthed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, stoves and
refrigerators. There is a higher risk of an electric shock, if your body is
earthed.
(c) Keep the machine clear of rain or humidity. The penetration of water into
an electrical device increases the risk of an electric shock.
(d) Do not use the cable for unintended purposes, to carry or suspend the
machine or to pull the connector out of the socket. Keep the cable clear
of heat, oil, sharp edges or any moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
(e) When using an electric tool in the open, use an extension cable only
which has been approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable
suitable for use in the open will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Always use an RCD (redicual circuit device or circuit breaker).
3) Personal safety
(a) Please pay attention and watch what you are doing, and carry out the
work with the electric tool sensibly. Do not use the machine, when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine. A moment of
carelessness in the use of the machine could lead to serious injuries.
