WARNING! Read all safety precautions and instructions. Failures in the compliance with these
safety precautions and instructions can cause electric shock, fire and/or heavy injuries.
Please keep these safety precautions and instructions for the future.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety precautions corresponds to mains operated electric tools (with
mains cord) and to battery operated electric tools (without mains cord).
1) Security of employment
a) Keep your working area clean and well illuminated. Disorder or unilluminated working areas
can cause accidents.
b) Do not work in explosive ambiances with the electric tool, in which there are flammable
liquid, gases or dusts. Electric tools generate sparks which can inflame the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool while using it. When being
distracted, you can lose the control on the device.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug must not be changed
in any kind. Do not use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unmodified
plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, like tubes, heatings, cookers and fridges.
There is a higher risk of electric shock when your body is earthed.
c) Keep your electric tool away from rain or wetness. The infiltration of water into an electric
tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not divert the cord from its intended use from carrying or hanging up the electric tool,
or for pulling the plugs from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving device parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work outside with your electric tool, only use extension cords that are appropriate
for outside use. The use of a extension cord which is appropriate for outside use reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
f) If the use of the electric tool in humid areas is inevitable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Be attentive, pay attention to what you do and go to work with the electric tool with
reason. Do not use an electric tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or pharmaceuticals. One moment of carelessness while using an electric tool kann
cause serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always goggles. The wearing of personal
protective equipment, like dust mask, skid-proof shoes, protection helmet or hearing protection,
depending on the kind and use of the electric tool reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintended start up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off before
connecting it to the mains and/or the battery, picking it up or carrying it. When you have
your finger on the switch while carrying the electric tool or connect the device to the mains when
it is switched on, this can cause accidents.
d) Remove adjusting tools or wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or wrench
which is located on a turning device can cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Care for safe standing and keep the balance anytime. Do not
work on a ladder. Thus you can control the electric tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Wide clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving
