GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

CAUTION! Read the instructions in full.
Any errors made in following the instructions set out
below may result in an electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "electric tool" used below
refers to electric tools operated from the mains
power supply (with a power cable) and to battery
operated electric tools (without a power cable).
KEEP THESE REGULATIONS IN A SAFE PLACE!
1. WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and tidy.
Disorder and insufficiently illuminated work areas
can lead to 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 tool's 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.
Connect the electric tool to the mains power
supply (230V~, 50Hz) via a socket-outlet with

earthing contact with maximum 16A
protection. We recommend that you fit a
residual-current protection device with a
maximum nominal tripping current of 30 mA.
Seek the advice of your electrician.
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.
Wear ear-muffs.
The impact of noise can cause damage to
hearing.
Wear a breathing mask.
Dust which is injurious to health can be
generated when working on wood and
other materials. Never use the device to
work on any materials containing
asbestos!
Wear safety goggles.
Sparks generated during working or
splinters, chips and dust emitted by the
device can cause loss of sight.
Avoid unintentional startups. Ensure that the
switch is in the "OFF" position before you
insert the plug into the socket outlet.
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.
Do not overestimate your abilities. 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.
