Safety information
Personal safety
a) Pay attention, be aware of what you are doing
and go about your work with the electric
power tool prudently. Do not use any power
tools if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of
inattentiveness when using the power tool may
lead to serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways wear safety glasses and ear defenders.
The wearing of personal protective equipment
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes or
hearing protection reduces the risk of injury de-
pending on the type and use of the power tool.
c) Prevent unintentional start-up. Ensure that
the power tool is switched off before connect-
ing it to the power supply and/or the power
pack, picking it up or carrying it. If you hold
your finger on the switch when carrying the power
tool or connect the device to the power supply
when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are
standing securely and that you maintain your
balance at all times. This will ensure that you
can maintain better control of the power tool if
unexpected situations occur.
e) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose hair,
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught be
moving parts.
f) The device may not be used by persons with
limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or
lack of experience and / or knowledge, even if
they are supervised or have received instruc-
tions about the safe handling of the device
and understand the associated dangers.
g) Children are not allowed to play with the
device.
h) Cleaning and user-maintenance must not be
carried out by children.
i) Do not use the device with defective or de-
tached safety equipment.
j) Switch the device off if the following condi-
tions exist. Make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete standstill:
- Before you leave the device.
- Before you release a block;
- Before you conduct cleaning, maintenance and
tuning tasks;
- before you check the device for damage; e.g.
after a foreign object has been encountered.
k) Always wait until the cutting tool comes to a
standstill.
l) Do not run, rather walk forwards at a steady
pace.
Safety information
Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overload the device. Use the electric
power tool designed for your work. Your work
is performed better and safer with the appropriate
power tool in the specified power range.
b) Do not use a power tool with a defective
switch. An electric power tool which can no lon-
ger be switched on or off is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the power pack before configuring any device
settings, changing accessory parts or storing
the device away. This precautionary measure
prevents the unintended starting of the power
tool.
d) Keep unused power tools out of the reach
of children. Do not let people use the device
who are unfamiliar with it or who have not
read these instructions. Electric power tools are
dangerous when used by inexperienced persons.
e) Treat power tools with care. Check that
moving parts work seamlessly and do not
jam; whether parts are so damaged that the
function of the power tool is impaired. Have
damaged parts repaired prior to using the
device. Many accidents originate from poorly
maintained electric power tools.
f) Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take the work conditions and the activity to
be performed into consideration. The use of
electric power tools for applications other than
those intended may lead to hazardous situations.
g) Pull the power plug from the mains immedi-
ately if the cable is damaged or severed.
h) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges which are treated
with care become stuck less frequently and are
easier to run.
Service
a) Only have your tool repaired by qualified
specialist personnel and with original spare
parts. This ensures that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

device can result in serious injuries.
