Remaining risks may be, for example:
• Touching rotating parts or tools.
• Injury caused by flying tools or tool
parts.
• Risk of fire with insufficient ventilation
of the motor.
• Adverse effects on the hearing caused
by working without ear defenders.
The ability to work safely is dependant
on the familiarity of the operator when
it comes to handling the given electri-
cal tool. Appropriate knowledge of the
machinery and careful behaviour when
working help to minimise the remaining
risks.
Warning! During operation,
this power tool generates an
electromagnetic field. This field may,
under certain circumstances, influ-
ence active or passive medical
implants. In order to reduce the risk
of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-
ommend persons with such a medical
implant to consult their doctor and
the manufacturer of the medical
implant before using the electrical
tool.
5 – General safety instructions
for handling power tools

The term „power tool" as used in the
safety notes refers to mains-operated
power tools (with a power cable) or to
battery-operated power tools (without a
power cable).
1 Work area
a) Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invi-
te accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosion prone surroundings,
such as those in which flamma-
ble liquids, gasses or dust can be
found. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
when operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions may cause you to lose cont-
rol of the power tool.
2 Electrical Safety
a) The plug of the power tool must fit
into the socket. The plug may not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter in conjunction with pro-
tective-earth power tools. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces, for example: pipes, hea-
ters, ovens and fridges. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. The ingress of
water into a power tool will increase
the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the connecting cable
by using it to carry the power tool,
to hang it up or to pull the plug out
