2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must fit into the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any
way. Do not use adapter plugs/connectors in combination with tools with protective earthing. Unmodified
plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or moisture in general. The penetration of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord to carry or hang up the tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extension cords that are approved for outdoor-
use. The use of an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a moist environment cannot be avoided it is highly recommended to
use a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply reasonable care when working with a power tool. Do
not use the power tool when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When
working with power tools, even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear eye protection (safety goggles). Wearing personal
protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (depending on the
type and application of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the
mains supply and/or the battery and whenever you pick up or carry the tool. When carrying the tool with
your finger on the on/off switch or connecting the tool to the mains supply with the switch in 'ON' position, this
may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like before you switch the power tool on. A wrench or other
tool that is inside or on a rotating part of the tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to have a safe footing and keep your balance at all times. This will
allow you to better control the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves clear
of all moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices are provided make sure that they are connected and used properly.
The use of a dust extraction device may reduce risks caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool intended for your type of work in each case. The use
of the suitable power tool within the stated range of performance makes working more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery before adjusting a tool, changing accessories or putting
the tool aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are currently not used out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to use
the tool if they are not familiar with the tool or these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if used by
inexperienced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check whether moving parts are working properly and are not
jamming/sticking, and whether parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a way that may affect the func-
tion of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the tool. Many accidents are the result
of poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are jamming
less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the way
prescribed for the respective type of tool. You should also consider the working conditions and the work
to be carried out. The use of power tools for purposes other than those intended for the respective tool may
result in dangerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified technical personnel only; repairs should be carried out using
exclusively original spare parts. This will ensure the continued safe operation of the power tool.
