5. Safety information
Attention!
The following basic safety measures must be ob-
served when using electric tools for protection against
electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire. Read all
these notices before using the electric tool and keep
the safety instructions for later reference.
Safe work
1. Keep the work area orderly
- Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2. Take environmental influences into account
- Do not expose electric tools to rain.
- Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet envi-
ronment.
- Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
- Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
- Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).
4. Keep other people away
- Do not let other people — especially children —
touch the electric tool or its cable. Keep them
clear of the work area.
5. Securely store unused electric tools
- Unused electric tools should be stored in a dry,
elevated or closed location out of the reach of
children.
6. Do not overload your electric tool

- Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating
work.
10. Connect the dust extraction device.
- If connections for dust extraction and a collect-
ing device are present, make sure that they are
connected and used properly.
- When processing wood, materials similar to
wood, and plastics. Operation in enclosed spac-
es is only permitted with the use of a suitable
extraction system.
11. Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is
not intended
- Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
