•
Make sure that power tools are not exposed to moisture or rain. Water getting into a power tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
•
When using a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. Using
such a cable will reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
If the operation of a power tool in high humidity areas is unavoidable, use a residual current
device. The use of a residual current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Stay vigilant, pay full attention to what you are doing, and always use power tools with common
sense. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication. A short moment of inattention during operation can lead to serious injuries.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection and protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a hard hat, and hearing protection while working. This
reduces the risk of injury.
•
Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the off position before connecting to
power and/or battery, picking up the tool, or carrying. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or turning on power tools that have the switch turned on can cause accidents.
•
Remove all adjustment wrenches or other wrenches before switching on the power tool. A
wrench or adjustment wrench hanging on a rotating part of the power tool could cause injury.
•
Always make sure that you stand firmly and keep your balance. This allows better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts, as they can get caught in them.
•
If devices are provided for connecting dust collection and extraction systems, ensure that they
are connected and used correctly. The use of these devices can reduce the hazards caused by
airborne dust.
Use and maintenance of electric tools
•
The power tool must not be used forcibly. Use the right power tool for the job at hand. With the
right power tool in the performance range for which it is designed, the job is done better and
safer.
•
Do not use the power tool if the switch no longer turns it on or off. Any power tool that cannot
be turned on and off with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Pull the plug before making settings, replacing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of the power tool being started accidentally.
•
Store unused power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not
familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools in the
hands of inexperienced users are dangerous.
•
Maintain your power tools. Check the alignment and connection of moving parts, see if any parts
are damaged, or if there is any other condition that could affect power tools. If the power tool is
damaged, have it repaired before using it again. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Correctly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to get stuck and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories, attachments, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the respective power tool type, considering the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Using the power tool for work for which the device is not intended can
be dangerous.
•
Wear hearing protection. Otherwise, if you are exposed to a great amount of noise, you could
experience hearing loss.
•
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the cutting
tool can touch a hidden cable or its own power cable. Cutting accessories that come into contact
with a live line can also energise exposed metal parts of the power tool and give the operator
an electric shock.
