4. Safety Instructions

m WARNING! Read all safety instructions, infor-
mation, illustrations and technical data for this
electric tool. Failure to observe the following infor-
mation and instructions can result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries.
Store all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
The term „electrical tool" used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools
(with a mains cable) and battery­powered electrical
tools (without a mains cable).
1 Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit.
Disorganised or unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Do not work with the electric tool in an
explosive environment
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
modified 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,
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep your electric tools away from rain and
moisture. Water penetrating an electric device
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) If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only
use extension leads that are also suitable for
outdoor use. Using an extension lead suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the electric tool in
a wet environment, use a residual 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
always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal
protective equipment, such as dust masks,
anti­slip safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing
protection, depending on the type and use of the
electric tool, reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional startup. Make sure that
the electric tool is switched off before you
connect it the power supply and/or battery,
pick it up or carry it. Keeping your finger on the
switch when you carry the electric tool or having
the electric tool switched on when you connect it
to the power supply may result in accidents.
d) Remove the setting tools or spanners before
switching on the electric tool. A tool or spanner
that is located in a rotating part of the electric tool
may result in injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This will allow you to better control the
electric tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery and long hair can be caught by moving
parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, these must be connected and
used properly. Using a dust extraction unit can
reduce hazards caused by dust.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false
sense of security and do not ignore the safety
rules for electric tools, even when you have
used them many times and have become
familiar with them. Careless actions can result
in serious injuries within a fraction of a second.
4 Using and handling the electric tool
a) Do not overload the electric tool. Use the
electric tool intended for your work. The
suitable electric tool allows you to work better and
more safely in the indicated power range.
b) Do not use an electric tool whose switch is
defective. An electric tool that cannot be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket and/or
take out a removable battery before setting
the device, changing insertion tool parts
or putting the electric tool away. These
precautionary measures will prevent the electric
tool from starting unintentionally.
