GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS CAUTION!
Read the instructions in full. Any errors made in
following the instructions set out below may result
in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The
term "electric tool" used below refers to electric tools
operated from the mains power supply (with a power
cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a
power cable).
Keep these regulations in a safe place!
1. WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and tidy. Disorder and
insufficiently illuminated work areas can lead to
accidents.
Do not use this tool in a potentially explosive
environment containing combustible liquids, gases or
dust. Electric tools generate sparks, which can in turn
ignite dust or vapors.
Keep children and other persons away from the electric
tool while it is being used. Allowing yourself to get
distracted can cause you to lose control of the tool.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The tools connector plug must be able to fit into the
socket outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way! Do
not use adapter plugs in conjunction with electrically
grounded tools. Unmodified plugs and matching socket
outlets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such as those of
pipes/tubes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of getting an electric shock if you
are electrically grounded.
Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet
conditions. Penetration of water into an electric tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or pull
the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from
sources of heat, oil, sharp edges and moving tool parts.
Damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of an
electric shock.
If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure
that you only use extension cable that is approved for
outdoor applications. Using extension cable that is
approved for outdoor applications reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
Connect the electric tool to the mains power supply
(230V~, 50Hz) via a socket-outlet with earthing contact
with maximum 16A protection. We recommend that you
fit a residual-current protection device with a maximum
nominal tripping current of 30 mA. Seek the advice of
your electrician.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appropriate
caution when using the electric tool. Do not use the
tool if you are tired or are under the influence of drugs/
medication or alcohol. One moment of carelessness or
lack of attention when using the electric tool can cause
serious bodily injury!
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE),
including safety goggles. Wearing personal protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip footwear,
protective headgear and ear muffs (depending upon
the type of electric tool and the particular application)
reduces the risk of sustaining injury.
Wear ear-muffs. The impact of noise can cause
damage to hearing.
Wear a breathing mask. Dust which is injurious to
health can be generated when working on wood and
other materials. Never use the device to work on any
materials containing asbestos!
Wear safety goggles. Sparks generated during working
or splinters, chips and dust emitted by the device can
cause loss of sight.
Avoid unintentional startups. Ensure that the switch is
in the "OFF" position before you insert the plug into the
socket outlet. Physically touching the switch with your
finger when carrying the tool or connecting the tool to
the power supply switched on can lead to accidents.
Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to switching
on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is positioned
inside a rotating power tool part can cause injury.
Do not overestimate your abilities. Make sure you stand
squarely and keep your balance at all times. This way,
you will be able to have better control over the tool in
unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fitting clothes
or jewelry. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, dangling jewelry and long
hair can be caught by moving parts.
If dust extraction and dust collection devices can be
mounted, ensure that these are connected and are
properly used. Use of such equipment reduces the risk
associated with dust accumulation.
