Safety information
Attention! The following basic safety measures must
be observed when using electric tools for protection
against electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire.
Read all these notices before using the electric tool and
keep the safety instructions for later reference.
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dimly lit workspaces can lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in areas where explosions
could take place, or in which flammable liquids, gas -
es or dust are present. Power tools can create sparks,
which can cause dust or fumes to ignite.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from the power
tool when it is being used. Distractions could cause you
to lose control over the equipment.
2) Electrical safety
a) The terminal plug of the tool must fit into the outlet.
The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use
an adaptor plug together with grounded power tools.
The original plugs and the appropriate outlets reduce
the risk of an electrical shock.
b) Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electrical shock, if your body is
grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions.
Penetration of water into the power tool increases the
risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than that
for which it was made. Do not use it to carry the tool,
hang it up, or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp corners or parts of the
equipment that move. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
e) When operating the power tool outdoors, only use
extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. The
use of an appropriate extension cord reduces the risk
of an electrical shock.
f) If the power tool must be used in a damp environ-
ment, use a residual current protective device. The use
of such a device reduces the risk of electrical shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Be attentive, watch what you are doing and use the
power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medicines. One moment of inattention while using a
power tool can result in serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear
protective glasses. Wearing personal protective equip-
ment, such as a dust mask, slip-free safety shoes, pro-
tective headwear or ear protection, depending on the
type and use of a power tool reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure that the
power tool is shut off before it is connected to the pow-
er supply, or is carried. If you have your finger on the
switch of the tool while carrying it, or have the tool
turned on, or connected to a power supply, this behav-
iour can lead to accidents.
d) Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners before
turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is locat-
ed in a rotating part of the machine, can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that the operator
is standing firmly and can maintain balance. This allows
the operator to maintain control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from
the moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can get caught in the moving parts.
g) If dust vacuums or catching systems can be installed
on the tool, make sure that these are correctly connect-
ed and assembled. The use of a dust exhaust unit can
reduce hazards caused by dust.
4) Use and treatment of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool for
the work that is to be done. With the correct power tool,
you can work better and more safely.
b) Do not use a power tool where the switch is defec-
tive. A power tool that cannot be turned on and off is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before you
make adjustments to the tool, change parts or put the
tool away. This precaution prevents inadvertent start-
ups of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are not in use out of reach of
children. Do not let anyone use the tool who does not
have experience with it, or who has not read these in-
structions. Power tools can be dangerous when they
are used by inexperienced people.
e) Take good care of your power tools. Make sure that
