When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with
due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that
the information is available at all times. If you
give the equipment to any other person, give
them these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions and the safety information.

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 electric tools (without a
power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result
in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in
an environment where there is a risk of
liquids
, gases or dust
. Electric tools produce
sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) 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
a) The connector plug from this electric tool
n
ever be altered in any way. Never use adapter
plugs together with earthed electric
tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric
tool, only use extension cables which
U
sing specially designed outdoor e
xtension
cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a
earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earthleakage
circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and
use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use
of dr
ugs, alcohol or medic
ation. A moment
of inattention when using the electric tool can
result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment
