5. General safety information

Attention! The following basic safety measures must
be observed 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

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 en-
vironment.
– 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 children away
– Do not allow other persons to touch the equipment
or cable, keep them away from your 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
– They work better and more safely in the speci-
fied output range.
7 Use the correct electric tool

which it is not intended. For example, do not
use handheld circular saws for the cutting of
branches or logs.

them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
12 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and
adjusting tools are removed.
13 Avoid inadvertent starting

sensible when working. Do not use the electric
tool when you are distracted.
16 Check the electric tool for potential damage
– Protective devices and other parts must be
carefully inspected to ensure that they are fault-
free and function as intended prior to continued
use of the electric tool.

lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and
all conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-
free operation of the electric tool.
