Safety instructions

Attention! Read all instructions con-
tained herein. Failure to observe the fol-
lowing instructions may result in electric
shock, burns and/or severe injury. The term
'power tool' used in the following includes
both mains-operated tools (with mains sup-
ply) and battery-operated tools (without
mains supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CARE-
FULLY!
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working area clean, tidy
and well-lit. Disorder and poorly lit work-
ing areas may result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in po-
tentially explosive environments con-
taining combustible fluids, gases or
dusts. Power tools generate sparks that
may ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
while you are operating the power
tool. Distractions may result in the oper-
ator loosing control over the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must
fit into the mains socket. The plug
must not be modified in any way. Do
not use adapter plugs/connectors in
combination with tools with protective
earthing. Unmodified plugs and fitting
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or mois-
ture in general. The penetration of water

up the tool or to pull the plug out of
the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges or moving
parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.

are approved for outdoor-use. The use
of an extension cord that is suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
moist environment cannot be avoided
it is highly recommended to use a re-
sidual current device (RCD). The use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
do and apply reasonable care when
working with a power tool. Do not use
the power tool when you are tired or
under the influence of medication,
drugs or alcohol. When working with
power tools, even a short moment of in-
attentiveness may result in severe injury.
and always wear eye protection (safe-
ty goggles). Wearing personal protection
equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety
shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors
(depending on the type and application of
the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
sure that the power tool is switched
off before you connect it to the mains
supply and/or the battery and whenev-
er you pick up or carry the tool. When
carrying the tool with your finger on the
on/off switch or connecting the tool to the
mains supply with the switch in 'ON' posi-
tion, this may result in accidents.
