• Only use accessories and attachments that are compatible with the slots on the device.
• Never attempt to switch off safety mechanisms.
• Do not use the appliance on wet materials.
• Switch the appliance off immediately if the drive becomes blocked.
• Keep the handles and surfaces of the tool dry, clean and free of oil or lubricants. Slipping during opera-
tion leads to a loss of control and accidents.
• Hold the tool firmly. A sudden stop of the drive transfers the kinetic energy to the tool itself. This may
cause the tool to fall out of your hands – risk of injury!
• Condensation may form when the product is brought from a cold room into a warm one (e.g. during
transportation). This can damage the product! For this reason, allow the product to warm up to room
temperature before using it or inserting the battery. This may take several hours.
d) Safety warnings for battery-powered tools
• Only use batteries that are specifically designed for this power tool. Using other batteries might result in
injury and/or fire hazards.
• Observe the safety and handling instructions in the original operating instructions of the battery and its
charging device.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the battery. Remove the battery before
moving away from the appliance.
e) Workstation safety
• Keep your workstation clean. Keep the work area well lit. A disorganised workstation or poor lighting can
cause accidents.
• Keep children and other people away from the workstation! Distractions can cause accidents.
• Ensure that your working area is well ventilated.
• Never use the product next to or near flammable liquids or gases, air/gas mixtures (petrol vapours) or
flammable solids/dust. Sparks may be generated when the product is used – risk of fire or explosion!
