General safety instructions
Warning!
Keep this manual safe and make sure it is always accessible. This operation manual contains
important information concerning the safety, operation, maintenance, and storage of this product.
Carefully read all the information and familiarise yourself with the device before using it, as the use of
the device might otherwise cause property damage as well as severe injuries and may even lead to
death.
Work area safety
•
Always keep your working area clean and well-lit. Untidy or insufficiently lit working areas in-
crease the risk of accident.
•
Do not operate the device in explosive environments or near flammable substances, liquids,
gases, or dusts. The use of this device may create sparks that could potentially ignite gases or
dust.
•
Keep bystanders away from the working area while operating the device, as distractions may
lead to a loss of control.
Electrical safety
•
The power plug of the device must match the power socket and must not be altered in any way.
Matching sockets and original plugs minimise the risk of electric shock.
•
Do under no circumstances attempt to modify the device, its accessories, or its power plug.
Modified devices are dangerous and their use holds a great risk of accidents and electric shock.
•
Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools.
•
Avoid physical contact with earthed objects and surfaces such as pipes, stoves, or refrigerators.
An earthed body increases the risk of electric shock when working with a power tool.
•
Keep this tool safe from moisture, rain as well as other sources of water. Water permeating the
device will damage it and greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not pull the power cord of the device and do not abuse it to lift, carry, or hold the device.
•
Do not expose the power cord to heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts and make sure that it
is not bent or pinched. Damaged or entangled cables greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Always check the cable for signs of damage or wear before using the device. Do not use the
tool if its power cord or plug are damaged and make sure to have it replaced by a qualified
electrician before the device is operated again.
•
Damaged or worn cables must not be repaired, but must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
•
When using the device outside, make sure to use an appropriate extension cord suitable for
outdoor use to decrease the risk of electric shock.
•
The use of the device in wet environments (e.g., rain) is strictly prohibited. If the use of the
device within an environment with high moisture levels cannot be avoided, make sure to equip
it with a fault-current circuit breaker to decrease the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Always stay attentive and do not use this device while being tired or exhausted or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicine.
•
Take all necessary precautions to prevent an accidental operation of the device. Do not press
the trigger when carrying the device and make sure it has been turned off, before connecting it
to a power supply. A loss of control can lead to property damage and severe injuries.
•
Always wear appropriate protective gear including, but not limited to safety goggles, ear protec-
tion, safety gloves, and non-skid safety shoes when operating the device.
•
Ensure that all adjusting tools or wrenches have been removed from the device before switching
it on. Adjusting tools might get caught up in moving parts and cause damage to the device as
well as severe injuries.
•
Do not overreach and always ensure a safe stand.
