e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extension cords that are ap-
proved for outdoor-use. The use of an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a moist environment cannot be avoided it is highly
recommended to use a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD 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 pow-
er tool. Do not use the power 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 (safety goggles).
Wearing personal protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or
ear protectors (depending on the type and application of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you
connect it to the mains supply and/or the battery and whenever you pick up or carry the
tool. 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 power tool on.
A wrench or other tool that is inside or on a rotating part of the tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to have a safe footing and keep your balance at all
times. This will allow you to better control the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing 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 a dust extraction device may reduce risks caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool intended for your type of work in each
case. The use of the suitable power tool within the stated range of performance makes working
more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or
off any more is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery before adjusting a tool, changing acces-
sories or putting the tool aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are currently not used 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 working properly
and are not jamming/sticking, and whether parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a
way that may affect the function of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the tool. Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are jamming less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions
and in the way prescribed for the respective type of tool. You should also consider the
working conditions and the work to be carried out. The use of power tools for purposes other
than those intended for the respective tool may result in dangerous situations.
