5. General safety instructions

m WARNING
Read all safety information, instructions, illus-
trations and technical data for this electric tool.
Failure to observe the following information and in-
structions can result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injuries.
Store all safety information and instructions for
future reference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered electric tools (with a mains
cable) and battery-powered electric tools/machinery
(without a mains cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit.
Disorganised or unlit work areas can result in ac-
cidents.
b) Do not work with electric tools in an explo-
sive environment where flammable liquids,
gases or dusts may be located.
Electric tools produce sparks that may ignite dust
or vapours.

c) Keep children and other people away while
using the electric tool.
Distractions may cause you to lose control of the
electric tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connection plug of the electric tool must
fit into the socket. The plug may not be mod-
ified in any way. Do not use an adaptor plug
together with earthed electric tools.
Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigera-
tors.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed.
c) Keep electric tools away from rain and mois-
ture.
Water entering an electric tool increases the risk
of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the connection cable for another
purpose, for example, carrying or hanging
the electric tool or pulling the plug out of the
socket. Keep the connection cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or coiled connection cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with power tools,
only use extension cords which are suited
for outdoor areas.
Using extension cords suited for outdoor applica-
tions reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the electric tool in
a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit
breaker.
Using a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
3. Safety of personnel
a) Remain attentive, pay attention to what you
are doing and be sensible when working with
electric tools. Do not use an electric tool if
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of carelessness when using electric
tools can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment, such as
dust masks, anti-slip safety shoes, safety helmet
or hearing protection, depending on the type and
use of the electric tool, reduces the risk of inju-
ries.
