work better and safer when used within their
quoted capacity range.
10. Use the right electric tool. Do not use electric
tools to perform work for which they were not
intended.
11. Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry as they may get caught in
moving parts. Non-slip shoes are recommended.
Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
12. Secure your workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the workpiece securely. This is safer than
using your hand.
13. Take care of your electric tools. Keep mounted
attachments such as cutting-off wheels, blades
and bits sharp and clean to enable you to work
well and safely. Follow the maintenance
regulations and the instructions for changing
mounted attachments such as cutting-off wheels,
blades and bits. Check the electric tool’s cable
regularly and have it replaced by an authorized
specialist if damaged. Check your extension
cables regularly and replace them if damaged.
Keep handles dry and free from oil and grease.
14. Always pull out the power plug. This is essential
when not using the electric tool, prior to
maintenance, and when changing mounted
attachments such as cutting-off wheels, blades
and bits.
15. Use only recommended accessories.
Recommended accessories are listed in the
directions for use. Follow the instructions issued
for the accessories. It may be dangerous to use
unsuitable accessories.
16. Do not climb on your electric tool. The tool may
topple and cause an injury.
17. Check the electric tool for damage. Each time
before re-using the electric tool, carefully check
that the safety devices or any slightly damaged
parts are working as intended. Check that the
moving parts are in good working order, that they
do not jam, and that no parts are damaged. All
parts must be correctly assembled and meet all
the conditions required to ensure that the electric
tool works correctly. Unless otherwise stated in
the operating instructions, damaged safety
devices and parts have to be repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center. Have
damaged switches replaced by a customer
service workshop. Never use an electric tool with
a switch that cannot be turned on and off.

24. Connect up a dust extraction system. If there are
provisions for connecting up a dust extraction
and collection system, make sure that such a
system is connected and in use.
25. Use the cable for its intended purpose only. Do
not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket-outlet. Protect cables from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
26. Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure
you stand squarely and keep your balance at all
times.
27. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure that the
switch is OFF when inserting the plug in the
socket-outlet.

cables that are approved for outdoor use and
which are marked accordingly.
