1. Safety information
DANGER!

General safety information for power tools
The term "power tool" used in the safety
regulations refers to power tools operated from
the mains power supply (with a power cable) and
to battery operated power tools (without a power
cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Do not use this power tool in an area
where there is a risk of explosion and
where there are infl ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks
that can ignite dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other people away
from the power tool while you are using
it. If you are distracted you may lose control
of the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The plug on the power tool must fi t
into the socket. The socket must not be
modifi ed in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs together with power tools with a
protective earth. Unmodifi ed plugs and
matching sockets will reduce the risk of an
electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating systems, stoves
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of suff ering an electric shock if your body is
grounded.
c) Keep the power tool out of the rain and
away from moisture. The ingress of water
into an electric power tool increases the risk
of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the power cord for a purpose
for which it is not designed, for example
to carry the power tool, hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
power cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Power cord that
are damaged or tangled increase the risk of
an electric shock.
e) If you use an electric power tool
outdoors, use only extension cables that
are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an
extension cord, which is suitable for outdoor
use, reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the power tool
in a damp location, use a residual current
device (RCD) circuit breaker. The use of a
residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker
will reduce the risk of suff ering an electric
shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and
be sensible and responsible when using
an electric power tool. Never use the
power tool if you are tired or under the
infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of inattention when using the
electric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and
always wear safety goggles. Wearing
personal safety equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or ear
plugs, depending on the type and application
of the tool, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the tool cannot start up
accidentally. Ensure that the power tool is
switched off before you connect it to the
power source, pick it up or carry it. If you
have your fi nger on the switch while carrying
the power tool or if you connect the power
tool to the power source while it is switched
on, this may cause accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches
before you switch on the power tool. Any
tool or wrench in a rotating part of the power
tool could cause injuries.
