oil and sharp edges or moving parts of
the tool. Damaged or tangled cables in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use exclusively extension cables that
are approved for outdoor-use. The use of
an extension cable that is suitable for out-
door 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 influ-
ence 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 gog-
gles). Wearing personal protection equip-
ment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes,
safety helmet or ear protectors (depending
on the type and use of the tool) reduces the
risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure
that the electrical tool is switched off be-
fore you connect it to the power supply
and/or the battery, pick it up, or carry it.
If you have your finger on the switch while
carrying the electrical tool or connect the
device to the power supply with the switch
activate, then this may cause accidents.
d) Avoid unintentional operation. Make
sure that the switch is in 'OFF' position
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.
e) 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.
f) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take
care of a safe footing and keep your bal-
ance at all times. This will allow you to bet-
ter control the tool in unexpected situations.
g) 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.
h) If dust extraction/collection devices are
provided make sure that they are con-
nected and used properly. The use of
these devices reduces hazards caused by
dust.
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 effective
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 out the plug connector from the
socket and/or remove the battery before
you change the device settings, change
accessories, or put away the device.
These care instructions prevent the device
from starting unintentionally.
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/stick-
ing, and whether parts are broken or oth-
erwise damaged in a way that affects the
function of the tool. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the tool. Many ac-
cidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thoroughly looked-after 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 in-
structions and in the way prescribed for
the respective type of tool. You should
