Important!
When using equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete
operating manual with due care. Keep this
manual in a safe place, so that the information
is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, give them
these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions and the safety information.
1. Safety information
General safety instructions for electric
tools
CAUTION: Read all safety regulations
and instructions.
Any failures made in
following the safety regulations and instructions
may result in an electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety
instructions refers to electric tools operated
from the mains power supply (with a power
cable) and to battery operated electric tools
(without a power cable).
1.1. Workplace safety
Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidy or unlit work areas can
result in accidents.
Do not operate the electric tool in an
environment where there is a risk of
explosions and where there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools produce sparks which could
set the dust or vapours alight.
Keep the electric tool out of the reach of
children and other persons.
If there is a
distraction, you may lose control of the
appliance.
1.2. Electrical safety
The connector plug from this electric
tool must fit into the socket. The plug
should never be altered in any way.
Never use adapter plugs together with
earthed electric tools.
Unaltered plugs
and correct sockets reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
Avoid bodily contact with earthed
surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens
and fridges.
The risk of electric shock is
increased if your body is earthed.
Keep the tool out of the rain and away
from moisture.
The ingress of water into
an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not use the cable to carry the
electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it
out of the socket. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts of the appliance.
Damaged or
entangled cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
If you are working outdoors with an
electric tool, only use extension cables
which are designed specifically for this
purpose.
Using specially designed outdoor
extension cables, the risk of electric shock
is reduced.
If operation of the electric tool in a
damp environment can not be avoided,
use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
The
earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
1.3. Safety of persons
Be careful, watch what you are doing
and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not
use the tool if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention when
using the electric tool can result in serious
injuries.
Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal protection (such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet
or ear protection, depending upon the type
and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk
