General safety instructions for electric tools
1 WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions.
If the safety instructions are not strictly adhered to, there is a
risk of serious injury, electric shock or damage by fire.
z Keep the safety instructions for future reference.
z The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions refers to
both mains-powered electric tools (with mains cable) and
battery-operated tools (without mains cable).
Workplace safety
z Keep the working area tidy and ensure that it is properly
illuminated. Working in cluttered or poorly lit areas can lead to
accidents.
z Do not use the electric tool in explosive atmospheres
containing flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electric tools
might generate sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.
z Keep electric tools away from children and do not operate
them when other persons are standing near you. When
distracted, you might lose control over the tool.
Electric safety
z The power plug of the electric tool must fit properly into the
mains socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapters to connect earthed electrical tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
z Avoid contact with earthed objects such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators. When your body is in
contact with an earthed device, there is an increased risk of
electric shock.
z Protect all electric tools against rain and dampness. There
is an increased risk of electric shock, if water enters the electric
tool.
z Do not carry or suspend the tool by the power cable and do
not pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges
and moving tool parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
z When using the electric tool outdoors, use only extension
leads that are designed for outdoor use. The use of extension
leads designed for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
z If it is not possible to avoid using the electric tool in a wet
environment, use a fault current circuit breaker. The use of
a fault current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
z When working with the electric tool, ensure that your full
attention is on the task in hand, do not let yourself be
distracted and apply common sense. Do not use the electric
tool when you are tired, or when you are under the influence
of drugs alcohol or medication. Even brief moments of
inattention can lead to serious injury.
z Wear personal protective equipment and protective
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as dust
mask, safety footwear, hard hat and hearing protection reduces
the risk of injury. Whether this equipment is necessary depends
on the type of the electric tool.
z Avoid inadvertent start-up of the electric tool. Ensure that
the electric tool is switched off before carrying it or
disconnecting/connecting it to the power supply (mains or
battery). When carrying the electric tool, do not place your finger
on the switch and do not connect it to the power source while it
is switched on, as this could cause injury.
z Before switching on the electric tool, remove all adjusting
tools such as spanners, etc. Tools or spanners left on a
rotating part can cause injury.
z Avoid unnatural postures. Ensure that you are standing on
firm ground and avoid a posture where you could lose your
balance. This ensures that you will be able to control the electric
tool even in unexpected situations.
Please read the instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the different control elements and how to
operate the device properly. Attention! When using
power tools it is important to observe the following sa-
fety advice in order to protect yourself against electri-
cal shock. The operator is responsible for accidents
involving other persons and/or their property.
Use eye and ear protection!
Wear protective gloves!
Do not expose to rain!
