protection reduces the risk of injury. Whether
this equipment is necessary depends on the
type of the electric tool.
z Avoid inadvertent start-up of the electric
tool. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before carrying it or
disconnecting/connecting it to the power
supply (mains or battery). When carrying the
electric 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 injury.
z Before switching on the electric tool,
remove all adjusting tools such as
spanners, etc. Tools or spanners left on a
rotating part can cause injury.
z Avoid unnatural postures. Ensure that you
are standing on firm ground and avoid a
posture where you could lose your
balance. This ensures that you will be able to
control the electric tool even in unexpected
situations.
z Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing and jewelry and long
hear can be caught in moving parts.
Proper use of electric tools
z Do not exceed the maximum load of the
tool. Use the tool only for the intended
purpose. To ensure safe and efficient
working, operate the electric tool only within
the specified power range.
z Do not use electric tools whose switches
are defective. Electric tools that cannot be
properly switched on or off are dangerous and
must be repaired without delay.
z Before adjusting the tool, changing
accessory parts or putting the tool away for
storage, disconnect the power plug from
the socket or remove the battery. This
safety measure reduces the risk of inadvertent
tool start.
z Store the electric tool outside the reach of
children. Do not allow persons who have
not read these instructions to operate the
tool. When operated by inexperienced
persons, electric tools can be very dangerous.

z Handle the electric tool with care and
service it regularly. Ensure that all moving
parts can work properly and are not
jammed and regularly inspect the tool for
defective or damaged parts that might
impair its function. Have damaged parts
repaired before you start the tool. Many
accidents are caused by insufficiently
maintained electric tool.
z Keep the cutting parts sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will rarely get jammed and are
easier to operate.
z When using the electric tool, the
accessories and replacement parts, strictly
adhere to the instructions in this manual.
Take into account the actual working
conditions and the task in hand. The use of
electric tools for purposes other than the
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Proper use of battery-powered tools
z Recharge the battery only with chargers
that have been specifically recommended
by the manufacturer. If a different charger is
used, there is a risk of fire.
z Operate the electric tool only with the
battery provided for this task. The use of
other batteries can lead to injury or fire.
z Ensure that the battery is never in contact
with metal objects such as paper clips,
coins, keys, nails or screws, as they could
short-circuit the contacts. Short-circuiting
the battery contact can lead to fire and injury
from burns.
z If the battery is used incorrectly, fluid might
leak out. Avoid contact with the fluid. In
event of accidental contact, rinse with
water. In case of fluid contact with the eyes,
consult a doctor. Leaking battery fluid can
cause irritation of the skin and burns.
Service
z If the electric tool needs to be repaired,
have the repair carried out by specialist
personnel and instruct them to use only
original spare parts. This ensures the
operational safety of the electric tool.
