CAUTION! In order to protect yourself from the danger
of electric shock, injury or fire when using electrical
power tools, please observe the following basic safety
precautions. Read all these requirements before you
use the electrical power tool, and keep the safety ad-
vice in a safe place.
Working safely
1. Keep your working area clean and tidy.
• A disorderly working area can lead to accidents.
2. Be aware of the effects of the environment.
• Do not leave electrical power tools out in the rain.
• Do not use electrical power tools in moist or wet sur-
roundings.
• Ensure that your working area is well lit.
• Do not use electrical power tools in areas where
there is risk of fire or explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock.
• Avoid touching earthed objects such as pipes, heat-
ing radiators, ovens or refrigerators with parts of
your body.
4. Keep other people at a safe distance.
• Do not allow other people, in particular children, to
touch the electrical power tool or the mains lead.
Keep them away from your working area.
5. Store currently unused electrical power tools in
a safe place.
• When not being used electrical power tools should
be stored in dry conditions in a high or enclosed
place, out of reach of children.
6. Do not overload your electrical power tool.
• By keeping within the specified working range of the
tool you will work more safely and achieve a better
result.
7. Use the right electrical power tool for the task.
• Do not use low-output devices for heavy tasks.
• Do not use an electrical power tool for purposes
for which it was not intended. For example, do not
use a hand operated circular saw for trimming tree
branches or cutting logs.
8. Wear suitable clothing.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. They
could become caught on moving parts.

uum dust extraction please ensure that the connec-
tions are made and used properly.

which it was not intended.
• Do not use the mains lead to pull the plug out of the
mains socket. Protect the mains lead from heat, oil

serted tools, e.g. saw blades, drills or router bits.
16. Make sure that no spanners, keys etc. are left
attached.
• Check before switching on that all spanners, keys
