Danger!
When using the equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety regulations 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, hand over these
operating instructions and safety regulations as
well. We cannot accept any liability for damage
or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow
these instructions and the safety instructions.
1. Safety regulations

Any errors made in following the safety
regulations and instructions may result in an
electric shock,

Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
General safety instructions for electric tools
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. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidy or unlit work areas can
result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in
an environment 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 children 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 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.
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.
Damaged 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 inattention when using the
electric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) 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 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 appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times.
