Danger!
When using the equipment, a few safety pre-
cautions 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 in-
formation 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 regula-
tions and instructions may result in an electric

fi
re and/or serious injury.
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 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 illu-
minated.
Untidy or unlit work areas can result
in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an en-
vironment where there is a risk of explo-
sions and where there are in
fl
ammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools produ-
ce 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 appli-
ance.
2. Electrical safety
a) The 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 sur-
faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and
fridges.
The risk of electric shock is increa-
sed if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of water and away
from moisture.
The ingress of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not use the power 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 elec-
tric 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
u-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of distraction 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 elec-
tric 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 swit-
ching 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.
In this way, you can
control the electric tool better in unexpected
