General Notes on Safety
Before working with the equip-
ment, familiarise yourself with all
operating components. Practice
handling the equipment and have
the function, operation and working
methods explained to you by an ex-
perienced user or specialist. Ensure
that you can shut off the equipment
immediately in an emergency. In-
appropriate use of the device may
result in serious injury.
If an accident or fault occurs during opera-
tion, immediately switch off the device and
disconnect at the plug. Treat injuries ap-
propriately or consult a doctor. For the cor-
rection of faults, read the "Troubleshooting"
chapter or contact our service centre.

Work area safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
•
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable Iiquids, gas-
es or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
•
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
•
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
•
When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) protected
