6. Safety information

Attention!
The following basic safety measures must be observed when
using electric tools for protection against electric shock, and the
risk of injury and fire. Read all these notices before using the
electric tool and keep the safety instructions for later reference.
4 GB/IE/NI
Safe work
1. Keep the work area orderly
- Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2. Take environmental influences into account
- Do not expose electric tools to rain.
- Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet environment.
- Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
- Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of fire or
explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
- Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g. pipes, ra-
diators, electric ranges, cooling units).
4. Keep other people away
- Do not let other people — especially children — touch the
electric tool or its cable. Keep them clear of the work
area.
5. Securely store unused electric tools
- Unused electric tools should be stored in a dry, elevated
or closed location out of the reach of children.
6. Do not overload your electric tool
- They work better and more safely in the specified output
range.
7. Use the correct electric tool
- Do not use low-output electric tools for heavy work.
- Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it is
not intended. For example, do not use handheld circular
saws for the cutting of branches or logs.
- Do not use the electric tool to cut firewood.
8. Wear suitable clothing
- Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which can be-
come entangled in moving parts.
- When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is recom-
mended.
- Tie long hair back in a hair net.
9. Use protective equipment
- Wear protective goggles.
- Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating work.
10. Connect the dust extraction device.
- If connections for dust extraction and a collecting device
are present, make sure that they are connected and used
properly.
- When processing wood, materials similar to wood, and
plastics. Operation in enclosed spaces is only permitted
with the use of a suitable extraction system.
11. Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not in-
tended
- Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the outlet.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure the workpiece
- Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the workpiece
in place. In this manner, it is held more securely than with
your hand.
- An additional support is necessary for long workpieces
(table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the machine from
tipping over.
- Always press the workpiece firmly against the working
plate and stop in order to prevent bouncing and twisting
of the workpiece.
13. Avoid abnormal posture
- Make sure that you have secure footing and always
maintain your balance.
