Non-observance of the following instructions
could cause an electric shock, fire and / or serious
personal injury.
Workplace safety
J
Keep your working area clean and tidy. Disorderly
and dark working areas can lead to accidents.
Ensure good illumination of the working area.
Untidy and poorly lit working areas can lead
to accidents.
J
Do not work with the appliance in areas subject
to the danger of explosions, in which flammable
liquids, gases or dusts are located. Electrical
tools produce sparks which could ignite the
dust or the vapours.
J
Keep children and other third parties
at a distance when using electrical
tools.
If distracted, you could lose the control over
the appliance.
Electrical safety
Avoid mortal danger through
electric shock:
J
The plug of the battery charger must fit correctly
into the power socket. The plug may not be
altered in any way. Do not use adapter plugs
together with earthing-protected appliances.
Non-modified plugs and appropriate wall sock-
ets reduce the risk of electric shock.
J
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heating elements, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
J
Protect the appliance from rain
and moisture.
The permeation of water into an electrical appli-
ance increases the risk of an electric shock.
J
Do not misuse the power cable, e.g. to carry the
appliance, to hang it up or for pulling the plug
from the wall socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving appliance
components. Damaged or tangled power cables
or plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
J
Damaged appliances, power cables
and power plugs bring the risk of
fatal injury from electric shock.
J
Regularly check the condition of the appliance,
power cable, power plug, if need be the charger
and the battery pack.
J
Do not take appliances into use that have
damaged components. In a case of emergency,
immediately disconnect the power supply.
J
Warning! - Never open the appliance.
Arrange for repair or component exchange work
to be carried out only by the Service Centre or
qualified electricians.
Safety of personnel
J
Always be alert and be aware of what you are
doing. Use lots of common sense when working
with electrical appliances. Do not use such
appliances when you are unconcentrated or
tired, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medications. Simply a few moments of inat-
tention in the use of an electrical appliance can
lead to serious personal injuries.
J
Always wear protective glasses when
working with the appliance.
J
Do not overrate yourself. Ensure you have a
secure positioning and are in balance at all times.
You can thus control the appliance so much better,
especially in unexpected situations.
J
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving components. Wear a hair net
if you have long hair. Loose and hanging clothing,
jewellery and hair can become caught up in fast
rotating appliance components.
General Safety and Usage
Instructions for Electric Tools
J
Do not overburden the appliance. Use the elec-
trical hand tool that is appropriate for the work
to be done. You will work better and safer with
the correct tool being used within its predeter-
mined area of performance.
