safety.

b) Personal safety
• Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of carelessness can cause serious injuries.
• Always use the tool carefully. Avoid the familiarisation effect if you have already worked with the tool
a lot. Always observe the safety instructions and stay alert at all times. A moment of carelessness can
result in serious accidents.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear protective goggles, sturdy shoes, long trousers, ear
defenders, breathing protection and if necessary, gloves. Never work barefoot or wearing sandals.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear jewellery. Hair, jewellery or clothing can be caught in moving
parts – risk of injury! Use a hair net or similar if you have long hair and wear close-fitting clothes when
using the product.
• Prevent unintentional switching on of the tool. Always make sure that the on/off switch is switched off
when you store, pick up or carry the device and before you connect or remove the battery from the
device. Do not carry the tool with your finger on the on/off switch.
• Remove any adjusting tools, e.g. spanners, before turning the appliance on. The tool could spin out of
control or seize up when switched on and cause injuries.
• Make sure you are stood firmly on the ground while working and avoid an abnormal posture. This makes
it much easier to control the tool in unforeseen circumstances.
• If a mechanism for connecting a suction unit is provided, ensure it is properly connected and used. Using
such a device can reduce dust related hazards.
