power tool. Distractions may result in
the operator loosing control over the tool.
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 earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain. The
penetration of water into a power tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry or hang
up the tool or to pull the plug out of
the socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil and sharp edges or moving
parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use exclusively extension ca-
bles that are approved for outdoor-
use. The use of an extension cable that
is suitable for outdoor use 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 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 (safe-
ty goggles). Wearing personal protec-
tion equipment as a dust mask, nonslip
safety shoes, safety helmet or ear pro-
tectors (depending on the type and use
of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make
sure that the switch is in 'OFF' posi-
tion before pulling the plug from the
mains socket. 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 tool
on. A wrench or another tool that is inside
or on a turning part of the tool may cause
injury.
e) Do not overestimate your abilities.
Take care of a safe footing and keep
your balance at all times. This will allow
you to better control the tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear
wide clo-thing 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 these devices reduces hazards caused
by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the
power tool intended for your type of
work in each case. The use of the suit-
able power tool within the stated range of
performance makes working more effec-
tive and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a dam-
aged switch. A power tool that cannot be
switched on or off any more is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket
before you adjust a tool, change ac-
cessories or put the tool aside. This
precaution avoids the unintentional start
of the tool.
d) Store power tools 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 work-
ing properly and are not jamming/
sticking, and whether parts are broken
or otherwise damaged in a way that
