Electrical safety
•
The mains voltage must always correspond to the information on the type plate of the device.
•
The mains plug of the device must fit into the socket. The plug must not be changed in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs together with earthed electrical appliances. Unchanged plugs and
suitable sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid any physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves, and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
•
Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Penetration of water into the device will increase
the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not use the cable to carry, hang the device or to disconnect it from the socket. Always keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
•
When working outdoors, only use extension cords suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use will reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
If operation of the device in a humid environment is unavoidable, always use an earth leakage
circuit breaker. The use of a circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Be attentive and fully concentrate on what you are doing. Always use an electrical device with
caution. Do not use it if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medicine. A
moment of carelessness during use may result in serious injury.
•
Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. Wearing personal protec-
tive equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet, or ear protection
reduces the risk of injury, depending on the type of use of the equipment.
•
Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure that the device is turned off before connecting it to the
power supply and/or battery, picking it up, or carrying it. With your finger being on the switch
when carrying the device or connecting it to the power supply when switched on, this can easily
lead to accidents.
•
Remove all adjustment tools and wrenches before turning on the device. A tool or key remaining
in a rotating part of the device may cause injury.
•
Avoid any unnatural posture. Ensure a safe stand and maintain your balance at all times. This
will allow you to better control the device in unexpected situations.
•
Always wear suitable work clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery, or long hair can easily be caught
by the moving parts. If dust collecting or absorbing devices can be installed, make sure that
they are connected and used properly. The use of such a device can reduce the risk of dust.
Power tool use and handling
•
Do not overload the device. Only use a suitable device for your work. With the appropriate
device, you will work better and safer in the specified power range.
•
Do not use a device the switch of which is defective. A device that can no longer be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the power plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before making any device
adjustments, changing any accessories, or putting the device away. This precaution prevents
the device from accidentally starting.
•
Always keep unused equipment out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons not familiar
with this equipment or not having read these instructions to use it. Electrically operated equip-
ment is dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
•
Regularly maintain the unit and take good care of it. Check if the moving parts are functioning
properly and are not jammed, if parts are broken or damaged in such a way as to affect the
operation of the device. Have all damaged components repaired before using the device. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained devices.
•
Keep the cutting tools (inserts) sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges jam less and are easier to guide.
