GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all safety information, instructions,
illustrations and technical data provided with this
power tool. Failure to observe the following
instructions may cause electric shock, re and/or
severe injuries. Keep all safety information and
instructions for future reference. The term "power
tool" used in this safety information refers to mains-
operated power tools (with power cable) and to
battery-powered power tools (without power cable).
1. Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorder or unlit
workplaces may result in accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in potentially
explosive environments where there are ammable
uids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can
ignite the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away when using the
power tool. If distracted, you may lose control of the power
tool.
2. Electrical Safety
a) The connection plug of the power tool must t in the
socket. The plug may not be modi ed in any form.
Verwenden Sie keine Adapterstecker gemeinsam mit
schutzgeerdeten Elektrowerkzeugen. Unmodi ed plugs
and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as
pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The
risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water
penetrating into a power tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not misuse the power cord to carry the power tool,
hang up the power tool or pull the plug out of the socket.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled power cords increase
the risk of an electric shock.
e) If the power tool must be used in a moist environment,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter. Using a residual
current operated circuit-breaker avoids the risk of electric
shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and
work sensibly with a power tool. Do not use the power
tool if you are tired or under the in uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when
using the power tool may cause serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety
goggles Wearing personal protective equipment, such as dust
mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm or ear protection,
depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the power
tool is switched o before you connect it to the power
tool and/or battery, pick it up or carry it. Accidents may
happen if you have your nger on the switch while carrying
the power tool or if the device is switched on when you connect
it to the power supply.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on
the power tool. A tool or key in a rotating part of the power
tool can cause injuries.
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are
standing securely and have your balance at all times.
This allows you can better control the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) Do not lull yourself into a false sense of security and
do not think yourself above the safety rules for electric
tools, even if you are familiar with the electric tool
following extensive practical experience. Careless use
can lead to serious injuries in fractions of a second.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the power tool
designed for the work that you are doing. You work better
and safer in the speci ed performance range if you use the
suitable power tool.
b) Do not use power tools whose switch is defective. A
power tool that cannot be switched on or o is dangerous
and has to be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or take out a
removable battery before you make device adjustments,
change accessories or put the power tool away. This
precautionary measure prevents the power tool from starting
unintentionally.
d) Store unused power tools so that they are inaccessible
to children. Do not let persons use the tool who are not
familiar with it or who have not read these instructions.
Power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced
persons.
e) Maintain the power tool and insertion tools with
care. Check whether moving device parts are working
awlessly and are not jamming, whether parts are
