Levels of noise and vibration were
determined according to the norms
and regulations in the declaration
of conformity. Technical and visual
changes may be made as part
of ongoing development without
announcement. All dimensions,
instructions and specifications are
therefore without guarantee.
Legal claims on the basis of the
operating manual may therefore not
be asserted.
The vibration emission value has
been measured according
to a standardised testing method
and may be used for comparison
with another electric tool.
The indicated vibration emission
value may also be used for an
introductory assessment of the
exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission value
whilst actually using the
electrical tool may vary from
the given values independently
of the type and way in which
the electric tool is used.
Safety measures for the
protection of the operator
are to be determined that are
based on an estimate of the
actual exposure under the real
operating conditions (for this,
all parts of the operating cycle
are to be taken into account,
for example, times in which the
electric tool is turned off, and
those during which it is turned
on but running without a load).
NOTES ON SAFETY
Caution! When using power tools,
observe the following basic safety
measures for the prevention of
electric shocks and the risk of injury
and fire: There is a risk of injury.
GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR POWER TOOLS
WARNING! Read all safety
28
instructions and guidelines
carefully.
Failure to follow the safety
instructions and guidelines may
result in electric shock, fire and
or serious injuries.
Save all safety instructions
and guidelines for the future.
The term „power tool" used
in the safety instructions refers
to mains-operated electric tools
(with a mains cable) and to
battery-operated electric tools
(without a mains cable).
SAFE WORKING
• Keep your work area tidy.
- An untidy workplace can lead to
accidents.
• Consider environment influences
- Do not expose power tools to rain.
- Do not use power tools in damp
or wet surroundings.
- Ensure the work area is adequately
lit.
- Do not use power tools where
there is a fire or explosion hazard.
• Protect yourself against electric
shock
- Avoid body contact with earthed
parts (e.g. pipes, radiators, electric
cookers, refrigerators).
• Keep other people away
- Do not allow other people,
especially children, to touch the
power tool or cable.
- Keep them away from your work
area.
• Store unused power tools safely.
- Unused power tools should be
stored in a dry, high or locked place,
out of the reach of children.
• Do not overload your power tool.
- They work better and more safely
within the specified power range.
• Use the correct power tool
- Do not use low-performance
machines for heavy work.
- Do not use the power tool
for purposes for which it is not
intended. For example, do not use
use a circular hand saw for cutting
tree branches or logs.
• Wear suitable clothing
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery that might become
caught in moving parts.
- When working outdoors, non-slip
footwear is recommended.
- Wear a hair net to contain long
hair.
• Use protective equipment
- Wear safety goggles.
- Use a dust mask for work which
generates dust.
• Connect a dust extraction device
- If connections are available
for dust extraction and collection
devices, make sure that these
are connected and properly used.
• Do not use the cable for purposes
for which it is not intended
- Do not use the cable to pull
the plug from the socket.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
• Secure the workpiece
- Use jigs or a vice to hold the
workpiece securely. This is safer
than using your hand.
• Avoid abnormal body postures.
- Ensure secure footing and keep
your balance at all times.
• Maintain tools with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
for better and safer working.
- Follow the instructions for
lubrication and changing tools.
- Regularly check the connection
cable of the power tool and,
if it is damaged, have it replaced
by a qualified specialist.
- Check extension cords periodically
and replace them if they are
damaged.
- Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
