5. Important information

General safety instructions for electric tools
m CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and instruc-
tions. Any failures made in following the safety regula-
tions and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe
place for future use.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to electric tools operated from the mains power
supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated elec-
tric tools (without a power cable).
1 Workplace safety
– Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy
or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
– Do not operate the electric tool in an environment
where there is a risk of explosions and where there
are inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools
produce sparks which could set the dust or vapours
alight.
– Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and
other persons. If there is a distraction, you may lose
control of the appliance.
2 Electrical safety
– The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into
the socket. The plug should never be altered in any
way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed
electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets re-
duce the risk of an electric shock.
– Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as
pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric
shock is increased if your body is earthed.
– Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture.
The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
– Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang
it up or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the
appliance. Damaged or entangled cables increase the
risk of an electric shock.
– If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only
use extension cables which are designed specifically
for this purpose. Using specially designed outdoor ex-
tension cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced.
– If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment
can not be avoided, use a earthleakage circuit-breaker.
The earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the
medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.
