General safety regulations for electric tools
CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and
instructions.
Any failures made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety regulations
refers to electric tools operated from the mains power
supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated
electric tools (without a power cable).
1. Workplace safety
Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result
in accidents.
Do not use this tool in a potentially explosive
environment containing combustible liquids,
gases or dust.
Electric tools generate sparks, which can in turn
ignite dust or vapors.
Keep children and other persons away from
the electric tool while it is being used.
Allowing yourself to get distracted can cause you
to lose control of the tool.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The toolʼs connector plug must be able to fit
into the socket outlet. Do not modify the plug
in any way! Do not use adapter plugs in
conjunction with electrically grounded tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching socket outlets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such as
those of pipes/tubes, heaters, cookers and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of getting an electric
shock if you are electrically grounded.
Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet
conditions.
Penetration of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it
up or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving tool parts.
Damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of an
electric shock.

If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors,
ensure that you only use extension cable that
is approved for outdoor applications.
Using extension cable that is approved for outdoor
applications reduces the risk of an electric shock.
If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a earth-
leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage
circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric
shock.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise
appropriate caution when using the electric
tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or are
under the influence of drugs/medication or
alcohol.
One moment of carelessness or lack of attention
when using the electric tool can cause serious
bodily injury!
Always wear personal protective equipment
(PPE), including safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment such as a
dust mask, non-slip footwear, protective headgear
and ear muffs (depending upon the type of electric
tool and the particular application) reduces the risk
of sustaining injury.
Make sure that the tool cannot start up
accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before you connect the tool to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick
up or carry the tool.
Physically touching the switch with your finger
when carrying the tool or connecting the tool to
the power supply switched on can lead to
accidents.
Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to
switching on the power tool.
A tool or wrench that is positioned inside a rotating
power tool part can cause injury.
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure
you stand squarely and keep your balance at
all times.
This way, you will be able to have better control
over the tool in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fitting
clothes or jewelry. Keep hair, clothes and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, dangling jewelry and long hair can
be caught by moving parts.
If dust extraction and dust collection devices
can be mounted, ensure that these are
connected and are properly used.
The use of a dust extraction system can reduce the
