Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
e) If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only
use extension cables that are also suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of carelessness when using
electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways safety goggles. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safe-
ty helmet or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con-
necting to power source and/or rechargea-
ble battery, picking up or carrying the tool.
Keeping your finger on the switch or having the
device switched on when you connect it to the
power supply may result in accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/
keys before turning the power tool on. A tool
or spanner that is located in a rotating device part
may result in injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. Use of dust extraction
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not overload the device. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket and/or re-
move the battery before setting the device,
changing accessories or putting the device
away. These precautionary measures will prevent
the electric tool from starting unintentionally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren. Do not let people use the device who are
not familiar with it or who have not read these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check whether moving
parts function properly and do not get stuck
and whether parts are broken or are damaged
and thus adversely affect the electric tool
function. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the device. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
5) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qual-
ified specialists and only with original spare
parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool
is maintained.
