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 inst-
ructions and the safety information.
1. Safety information
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regula-
tions and instructions may result in an electric
shock,
fi
re 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 inst-
ructions 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. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well illumina-
ted. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an environ-
ment where there is a risk of explosions and
where there are in
fl
ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which
could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of child-
ren and other persons. If there is a distraction,
you may lose control of the appliance.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric tool
must
fi
t into the socket. The plug should ne-
ver be altered in any way. Never use adapter
plugs together with earthed electric tools. Un-
altered plugs and correct sockets reduce the
risk of an electric shock.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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. Da-
maged or entangled cables increase the risk
of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric
tool, only use extension cables which are
designed speci
fi
cally for this purpose. Using
specially designed outdoor extension cables,
the risk of electric shock is reduced.
f) 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.
3. Safety of persons
a) 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 in
fl
uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion when using the electric tool can result in
serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and
always wear safety goggles. Wearing perso-
nal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip
safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection,
depending upon the type and use of the elec-
tric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start
up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool
is switched o
ff
before you connect it to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick
up or carry the tool. If your
fi
nger is on the
switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you
connect the appliance to the mains when it is
switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before switching
on the electric tool. A tool or key which comes
into contact with rotating parts of the appli-
ance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure
you stand squarely and keep your balance at
all times. In this way, you can control the elec-
tric tool better in unexpected circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair can get trap-
ped in moving parts.
