General safety instructions for electric
tools
1
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and instructions.
If the safety instructions are not strictly ad-
hered to, there is a risk of serious injury,
electric shock or damage by fire.
Keep the safety instructions for future re-
ference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety in-
structions refers to both mains-powered elec-
tric tools (with mains cable) and battery-
operated tools (without mains cable).
Workplace safety
Keep the working area tidy and ensure
that it is properly illuminated. Working in
cluttered or poorly lit areas can lead to acci-
dents.
Do not use the electric tool in explosive
atmospheres containing flammable li-
quids, gases or dusts. Electric tools might
generate sparks that can ignite dust or va-
pors.
Keep electric tools away from children
and do not operate them when other per-
sons are standing near you. When dis-
tracted, you might lose control over the tool.
Electric safety
The power plug of the electric tool must fit
properly into the mains socket. Do not
modify the plug in any way. Do not use ad-
apters to connect earthed electrical tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets re-
duce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid contact with earthed objects such
as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigera-
tors. When your body is in contact with an
earthed device, there is an increased risk of
electric shock.
Protect all electric tools against rain and
dampness. There is an increased risk of
electric shock, if water enters the electric tool.
Do not carry or suspend the tool by the
power cable and do not pull the cable to
disconnect the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat sources,
oil, sharp edges and moving tool parts.
Damaged or entangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
G
When using the electric tool outdoors,
use only extension leads that are desi-
gned for outdoor use. The use of extension
leads designed for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If it is not possible to avoid using the elec-
tric tool in a wet environment, use a fault
current circuit breaker. The use of a fault
current circuit breaker reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
When working with the electric tool, ensu-
re that your full attention is on the task in
hand, do not let yourself be distracted and
apply common sense. Do not use the
electric tool when you are tired, or when
you are under the influence of drugs alco-
hol or medication. Even brief moments of
inattention can lead to serious injury.
Wear personal protective equipment and
protective goggles. Wearing personal pro-
tective equipment such as dust mask, safety
footwear, hard hat and hearing protection re-
duces the risk of injury. Whether this equip-
ment is necessary depends on the type of the
electric tool.
Avoid inadvertent start-up of the electric
tool. Ensure that the electric tool is swit-
ched off before carrying it or disconnec-
ting/connecting it to the power supply
(mains or battery). When carrying the elec-
tric tool, do not place your finger on the switch
and do not connect it to the power source
while it is switched on, as this could cause in-
jury.
Before switching on the electric tool, re-
move all adjusting tools such as span-
ners, etc. Tools or spanners left on a rotating
part can cause injury.
Avoid unnatural postures. Ensure that
you are standing on firm ground and avo-
id a posture where you could lose your
balance.
This ensures that you will be able to control
the electric tool even in unexpected
situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clo-
thing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing and jewelry and long hear can
be caught in moving parts.
When using tools with dust extraction and
collection devices, ensure that they are
properly mounted.
