1.2.1
General warnings
Read all hazard warnings and operating instructions.
Failure to observe the hazard warnings and operating instructions may lead to electrical shock, fire and/or
serious injury hazards.
The device power plug must be suited to the socket. Strictly avoid modifying the plug. Do not use adapter
plugs. Unmodified plugs and sockets suited for the purpose reduce electrical shock risks.
Store the tool away from rain or humidity. Water penetration in the tool increases electrical shock risk.
Do not use the cord for purposes other than those intended and, specifically, do not use it to transport or
hang the device and do not pull on it to unplug the tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp corners and machine parts in motion. Damages and tangled cords
increase electrical shock risks.
1.2.2
Personnel safety
Never use the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or prescription medicine.
Always wear personal safety devices as well as protective gloves.
When the tool is not used, keep out of reach of children. Do not allow untrained personnel or personnel who
have not read these instructions use the tool.
