shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending
upon the type and use of the electric tool)
reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start
up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before you connect it to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or
pick up or carry the tool. If your finger is on the
switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you
connect the appliance to the mains when it is
switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before
switching on the electric tool. A tool or key
which comes into contact with rotating parts of
the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times. In this way, you can
control the electric tool better in unexpected
circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuuming devices and draining devices
can be fitted, make sure that these are
correctly attached and correctly used. The
use of a dust extraction system can reduce the
danger posed by dust.

a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work. You will be able to
work better and more safely within the given

c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or
remove the battery before making any
adjustments to the appliance down. This
safety measure prevents starting the electric tool
unintentionally.

of children. Do not allow people who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance. Many accidents are caused by

f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.

work area and the job in hand into account.
Using electric tools for any purpose other than
